Does God Exist?
Om den här podden
Physics to God is a guided journey through modern physics to discover God. We start from the fine tuning of the constants of nature, travel through the multiverse, and ultimately arrive at a compelling idea of God.

- Does God Exist? · 30 minCan science convincingly show that God exists? In this episode, we explore one of the most profound questions in human history through the lens of modern physics and philosophy…
- Is the Multiverse Real? · 50 minThis episode can be seen as a stand-alone summary of our analysis and rejection of the multiverse, or as a review of the main points of this season. It's perfect for anyone…

- Cyclic Universes and Bouncing Cosmology - S2:E15 · 25 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 15Our universe's initial state was incredibly unlikely, and if it were even slightly different, nothing would exist except for black holes. This episode discusses physicist Paul…
- Cosmological Natural Selection - S2:E14 · 40 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 14Biologist Richard Dawkins, in his book, The Blind Watchmaker, wrote the following: The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is…
- Is Multiverse Science? - S2:E13 · 33 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 13Multiverse scientists deviate from the longstanding scientific method, grounded in predictions and observations, by positing infinitely many unobservable parallel universes to…
- Philosophical and Scientific Methods for Multiverse - S2:E12 · 31 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 12The scientific method has been the key to the great success of science over the past 300 years, and it's incredibly important to distinguish it from the philosophical method. You…
- The Mathematical Multiverse and the Meta-Measure Problem - S2:E11 · 32 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 11If you thought multiverse scientists have difficulty explaining the fine tuning of the constants without God, you won't believe the trouble they have explaining away the designed…
- The Multiverse's Measure Problem - S2:E10 · 30 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 10In an infinite multiverse, the need to calculate if our universe is typical leads directly to the devastating three-layered measure problem: ad hoc measures are bad ideas to…
- Infinities and Measures - S2:E9 · 19 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 9In previous episodes, we discussed the multiverse's sole "prediction" that we are typical observers in a typical universe. However, this ignored the major problem that it doesn't…
- Boltzmann Brain and Grand Universe Problems - S2:E8 · 27 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 8The Boltzmann Brain problem – the multiverse's prediction that you are a randomly fluctuated brain with false memories – sounds like a ridiculous problem. In a sense, it is. But…
- The Typical Universe Premise - S2:E7 · 25 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 7This episode discusses something many people fail to mention about the multiverse - that it actually makes a prediction. Well, sort of. You can probably guess that a theory about…
- Naive Multiverse - S2:E6 · 21 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 6This is probably our favorite episode in the series. It was certainly the most fun to record. Together with the next four episodes, it contains the heart of our argument…
- String Theory Multiverse - S2:E5 · 30 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 5Multiverse scientists use string theory to support the Varied Multiverse Premise. This episode will evaluate whether or not string theory truly supports the notion that the…
- Fine-Tuning is Evidence for...Multiverse? - S2:E4 · 26 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 4Multiverse scientists support the claim that the constants vary by using fine tuning—yes, fine-tuning—the very same evidence we use for the existence of God. While it might sound…
- Eternal Inflation Multiverse - S2:E3 · 24 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 3This episode discusses the Eternal Inflation Multiverse - the strongest support from modern physics for an infinite multiverse. This support comes from the theory of inflation…
- The Infinite Multiverse Premise - S2:E2 · 37 min · Säsong 2 Avsnitt 2After an introductory discussion about the concept of infinity, this episode considers three lines of evidence that multiverse supporters bring to justify the Infinite Multiverse…

- Three Versions of the Fine Tuning Argument - S1:BONUS · 53 min · Säsong 1Many people are already familiar with various presentations of the fine-tuning argument in discussions about the existence of God. Standard forms of the argument are often…
- Summary and FAQ - S1:E10 · 48 min · Säsong 1 Avsnitt 10In this series, we've presented three arguments for an intelligent cause: the first from the fine tuning of the constants, the second from the design of the laws, and the third…
