WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.879 Chapter 9 Breaking news. The universe just randomly 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.580 fine -tuned itself. That's right, folks. According 00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:10.660 to totally scientific evolutionary cosmology, 00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.699 the universe just so happened to arrange itself 00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:17.280 in a way that perfectly supports life. Not because 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.620 of design, but because of... Drumroll, please. 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.980 Random chance. So let's get this straight. If 00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:28.719 gravity was a tiny bit weaker, no stars, no planets, 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.030 no life, If protons were just a little heavier, 00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:35.789 atoms would collapse. No chemistry, no life. 00:00:36.009 --> 00:00:38.750 If Earth was just a little closer or farther 00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:41.770 from the sun, we'd either be an ice cube or a 00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:44.409 burnt chicken nugget. If the fundamental forces 00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:47.130 of nature were off by even a fraction of a percent, 00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:51.990 boom, no universe, no us. Yet here we are, perfectly 00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.469 situated in a life -friendly universe. But totally 00:00:55.469 --> 00:00:59.219 by accident, of course. Seems legit. Atheist 00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:03.719 Scientist's Best Explanation The Lucky Coincidence 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.439 Theory Now, before you ask, how do scientists 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.459 explain the insane improbability of a life -supporting 00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:15.120 universe? Don't worry. The experts have answers. 00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:18.840 We got really lucky. If the universe wasn't fine 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.719 -tuned, we wouldn't be here to ask. Maybe there 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.599 are infinite universes and we just hit the jackpot. 00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:28.750 Translation We don't actually know, but we refuse 00:01:28.750 --> 00:01:32.730 to consider a designer, so just go with it. The 00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:35.510 multiverse atheisms get out of logic free card. 00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:38.650 Faced with overwhelming evidence of fine -tuning, 00:01:38.829 --> 00:01:42.750 atheists needed an emergency excuse. Enter the 00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:45.750 multiverse theory. What's the multiverse theory? 00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:48.969 It's the idea that infinite universes exist, 00:01:49.310 --> 00:01:52.390 each with different laws of physics. We just 00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:55.209 happen to live in the one that works. Problem. 00:01:55.819 --> 00:01:58.680 There's zero evidence for this. It's like saying, 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.319 I rolled a hundred dice and they all landed on 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.180 six. But don't worry, there are actually infinite 00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:06.900 dice rolls in alternate universes where that 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:10.180 didn't happen. Translation, we can't explain 00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:12.919 it, so let's make up an infinite number of invisible, 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.800 unprovable universes. But wait, I thought atheists 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.520 only believe in what they can see. Oh, except 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.849 when it comes to dodging obvious design. Then 00:02:23.849 --> 00:02:26.189 they suddenly become more mystical than a room 00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:30.009 full of astrologers. Why fine -tuning is atheism's 00:02:30.009 --> 00:02:34.009 worst nightmare. Fact. The laws of physics could 00:02:34.009 --> 00:02:37.189 have been anything. Fact. The probability of 00:02:37.189 --> 00:02:39.330 getting a life -permitting universe is virtually 00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:43.270 zero. Fact. The only logical conclusion is that 00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:46.669 something set these laws perfectly. Yet atheists 00:02:46.669 --> 00:02:50.530 say, Nope, it's just random. Oh, really? Let's 00:02:50.530 --> 00:02:53.349 test that. Imagine you wake up and your breakfast 00:02:53.349 --> 00:02:56.030 is perfectly prepared. Your clothes are laid 00:02:56.030 --> 00:02:58.949 out and your coffee is waiting. Would you assume, 00:02:59.150 --> 00:03:02.349 wow, someone planned this for me? Obviously, 00:03:02.349 --> 00:03:05.750 the cereal randomly poured itself. The toast 00:03:05.750 --> 00:03:08.930 cooked itself and the coffee brewed itself. If 00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:12.069 you picked B, congratulations. You qualify for 00:03:12.069 --> 00:03:16.110 an atheist PhD. Because according to them, design 00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:19.150 is an illusion. Even when everything is arranged 00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:22.620 perfectly for a purpose. The universe just created 00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:26.199 itself, bro, atheists love to say. The universe 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.199 didn't need a cause, it just happened. Oh, really? 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.620 Because every explosion we've ever seen destroys 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:36.680 things, not builds fine -tuned galaxies. Every 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.280 complex system we've ever studied was designed, 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.580 not randomly assembled. Every law we know of 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.340 came from a lawgiver, not from nothing. But when 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:48.360 it comes to the universe, it just fine -tuned 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.349 itself, bro. Trust me. Translation. Shut up and 00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:55.530 believe in magic, but without God. Why science 00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:59.030 needs fine -tuning, but atheists pretend it's 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:02.150 random. Let's break this down. Science depends 00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:05.729 on fixed predictable laws. If those laws weren't 00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:08.969 set perfectly, we wouldn't exist. Atheists say 00:04:08.969 --> 00:04:12.490 those laws just happened to be perfect. But we've 00:04:12.490 --> 00:04:15.650 never seen laws happen. They're always established. 00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:19.050 So why should we believe the universe fine -tuned 00:04:19.050 --> 00:04:22.779 itself? The Bible had it right all along. While 00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:26.060 atheist scientists keep inventing imaginary universes 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:29.399 to avoid a creator, the Bible had the answer 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.899 from the start. Genesis 1 .1 In the beginning, 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.180 God created the heavens and the earth. Not in 00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:39.959 the beginning. Physics randomly balanced itself 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:45.399 against impossible odds. Psalm 19 .1 The heavens 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.420 declare the glory of God. Not. The heavens declare 00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:53.160 how lucky we got. Colossians chapter 1, verse 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.500 17. In him all things hold together, including 00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:00.980 the precise constants of nature. Meanwhile, science 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:04.399 says, Dude, the laws of the universe just set 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.800 themselves. Yeah, no thanks. Final thoughts. 00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:11.459 So let's sum this up. Science depends on finely 00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:14.860 tuned physical laws. If those laws weren't precise, 00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:17.889 we wouldn't be here. The probability of a life 00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:21.569 -permitting universe is basically zero, but atheists 00:05:21.569 --> 00:05:24.550 want us to believe it was all just a cosmic fluke. 00:05:24.610 --> 00:05:27.410 So tell me again, who's really trusting science 00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:30.490 here? If you believe laws and order don't appear 00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:33.829 by accident, guess what? You just admitted the 00:05:33.829 --> 00:05:36.529 universe had to be designed. But don't worry, 00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:39.769 the atheists will be back tomorrow, using the 00:05:39.769 --> 00:05:42.430 laws of physics to argue that physics created 00:05:42.430 --> 00:05:45.800 itself. while cashing their research grants.
