Enjoyed talking with Kerby Anderson on his Point of View radio show about Jesus' resurrection and the loss of meaning, value, and purpose on naturalism. podcast.christiantalk.media/…

Grateful to write another article for the @CSLewisInst's Challenging Questions series, this time on the fine-tuning of the universe for life. Here's a snippet. Philosopher Robin Collins points out, “If the initial explosion of the big bang had differed in strength by as little as one part in 10^60 [i.e., 10 followed by 60 zeros], the universe would have either quickly collapsed back on itself, or expanded too rapidly for stars to form. In either case, life would be impossible.” Collins likens this improbability to “firing a bullet at a one-inch target on the other side of the observable universe, twenty billion light years away, and hitting the target.” cslewisinstitute.org/resourc…

"I am sure that I have run more swiftly with a lame leg than I ever did with a sound one. I am certain that I have seen more in the dark than ever I saw in the light, – more stars, most certainly, – more things in heaven if fewer things on earth. The anvil, the fire, and the hammer, are the making of us; we do not get fashioned much by anything else. That heavy hammer falling on us helps to shape us . . ." — Charles H. Spurgeon, "Christ's Yoke and Burden," Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 49
