How the Multiverse Points to God: A Conversation with Stephen Meyer

Sean is a very talented interviewer. He allows great exposition by his guests, prompts great conversation, and, yet, resists interrupting the flow of his guests. Apologetics are best heard in this form. Thank you.

If the multiverse is defined as all logically possible universes, and if God is logically possible, then Alvin Plantinga's modal version of the Ontological argument would mean a multiverse would necessitate God's existence (since if God is possible, he exists in some possible worlds and being omnipresent he exists in all possible. If the multiverse equals all possible worlds, God exists; and exists in all of them).

Meyer is a great thinker, and this was a terrific conversation. I am grateful !!

Meyer’s ability to explain such complexities to regular non scientific people blows me away

We conclude a discussion on the origin of the universe by pointing out that both Intelligent Design and Multiverse theories require faith. However, the weight of the scientific evidence overall favors Intelligent Design.

Stephen Meyer is a wonderful, intelligent man. We are blessed to have him articulate these complex issues in favour of Christianity.

What a great program you have established, with such interesting and intelligent guests. Thank you, Sean.

Another great conversation! Thanks.

Great seeing Stephen Meyer.

Wow, how did I miss this one!!!

Thank you so very much 🙏😊!

Mr. McDowell I met you at SLU 101 just a few days ago. I asked you if you had an material to help young people interested in a scientific field talk to atheistic or materialistic people in science. You recommend me this video and it is really helpful thank you so much I now feel more confident in my ability to speck intelligently about science while defending my beliefs.

I really want to see a friendly discussion between stephen meyer, hugh ross and william lane craig... Wish someone could make that happen

Sean is best interviewer on the planet

Always enjoy him

What a great interview. Once I'm through with the two books I am working on, I am definitely grabbing this one. Thanks Sean for your devotion to pure rationality that points to the Trinity.

Maybe I missed it, but it seems like this only addresses theories involving preexistant universe generatorating "things": strings or fluctuations or whatever. How does this address the explination that universes might pop into existence out of literally nothing? It's out of our reach to ever find evidence for such a thing, but if possible it should be expected to happen an infinite number of times. If universes can appear out of nothing they might be expected to be random as much as they could be expected to be anything else. In which case a multiverse of all possibilities seems consistent to me for at least an atheistic perspective that supposes things might be able to come from nothing. I don't buy it, but it seems consistent.

Will there be Q&A? If so, do we post the question in this Comments section of youtube?

This was excellent and very helpful. I would also love to hear someone analyze how Marvel is using the multiverse in their movies maybe from a philosophical or theological point of view. The multiverse should also undermine the importance of human life and choice, but in every Marvel conception it reinforces the idea that "You matter and your (moral) choices matter." As well as "You are irreplaceable and valuable". (Building on Infinity War and Endgame) This angle could be a great conversation starter with non-Christian friends.

This is very very deep profound and essentially impossible to confirm or deny topic...
