Teleological Argument Part 2 | Layers of Design

Teleological Argument Part 2 | Layers of Design

Episode 2.24


From Life to the Cosmos


Is the design we see in nature just an illusion—or does it point to something more?


In this second installment of our series on the teleological argument, we explore layers of apparent fine-tuning across biology, planetary systems, the solar system, and the universe itself. From the genetic code and molecular machines to the unique traits of Earth, the Sun, and even our galactic neighborhood, we ask: Does this all look accidental or intentional?


We break down key arguments from thinkers like Behe, Dembski, and Gonzalez, and engage with major counterarguments, including the anthropic principle, evolution, and the multiverse with clarity and rigor.


Topics include:


Irreducible complexity in biological systems


Earth’s “Goldilocks” conditions and solar fine-tuning


The privileged planet hypothesis


Responses to evolutionary and multiverse-based objections


Why the design inference remains a rational explanation


Whether you're new to this argument or want to sharpen your thinking, this episode dives deep into why life and discovery may be more than lucky accidents.

different gifts.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,200
One of the gifts we got him was

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,200
He really likes my mom and dad,
like love, they drink Diet Coke.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,640
They drink Diet Coke too much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,680
And, you know, we're trying to
be trendy with the culture.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,160
So we got this koozie that says
I identify as water so he can

14
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,000
slide that on his Diet Coke and
boom, he's healthy.

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,960
He's like, I'm on my 8th cup cup
of water today, you know?

16
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,840
We're good.
That's very nice.

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,920
So you.
Know.

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,560
And any gifts that you got,
Zach?

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,280
I got some stuff for the old
Blackstone, You know, I was

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,800
actually, I grilled, grilled a
little bit today.

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Oh, you did what y'all what
y'all have today?

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Did some, did some chicken bacon
kind of bacon ranch kind of

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,959
sandwiches and I, you know, put
them.

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280
I just, I love putting bacon on
the Blackstone, just, you know,

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,000
so.
So yeah.

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,120
And bacon too.
Last night I did bacon and

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,640
sausage and pancakes and eggs.
Man, so good.

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,640
The pancakes like in the bacon
grease and it just, it just made

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,360
you can't.
Well, Jill does not like the

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,920
pancakes, the bacon grease.
What so?

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,800
So I scrape all the the bacon
grease off and then we put

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,440
butter on it, 'cause she's, but
she's very happy with the taste

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,520
because she's like these.
She's like, most of the time

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
pancakes don't taste like
anything like you get at the

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,000
restaurant.
Oh yeah, but they do.

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,440
But they like she's like these
taste just like Cracker Barrel

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
pancakes, this particular mix
and you know when you cook them

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,080
in the butter on the griddle,
so.

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Cracker, have you been at
Cracker Barrel recently?

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,080
I have not.
Dude, I'll tell you what, it had

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,000
it to me.
It seemed better days.

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,000
It used to be like the premiere,
like my grandparents were like

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,280
always stop at Cracker Barrel.
Like you would always stop at

44
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Cracker Barrel on road trips.
It's we the last time we went,

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,800
we were on a road trip and we
were like, it's not lunchtime,

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,080
they're not going to be busy.
We should be able to get in and

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,400
out and we needed we needed that
longer time.

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,640
This was in Tupelo, Ms. I've.
Been there many times.

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,040
And we got off on that, like the
little Corinth Drive.

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,360
We went to that Cracker Barrel
that's kind of over there by,

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,280
you know, just down the street.
I could, I could just give you

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,760
all the, I can see exactly what
it is.

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,280
We waited like 2 1/2 hours, 30
minutes before.

54
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,920
Like we were seated.
There's no one in the

55
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,520
restaurant.
The waitress doesn't even come

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,320
over and like say, hey, anything
for like 30 minutes.

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,880
I was about to leave.
Like she finally comes over and

58
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,440
I say something like we're on a
road trip.

59
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
She's like, oh, we're so sorry.
It will be fine.

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280
You know, we're going to really.
And it drug out, drug out.

61
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,000
And I was like, this was we
dropped like 2 and I was like, I

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,480
can't do it.
Plus, you know, I think they're

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,080
going a little bit woke.
So, you know, they had they had

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,800
some, you know, rainbow
furniture out front in one of

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,680
them and stuff the.
Rocking chair was rainbow.

66
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,960
The checker set was rainbow.
Absolutely.

67
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,040
They had A and this was a couple
years ago and they like changed

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,560
the menu changed.
They have changed their menu on

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,400
there.
Are some that they've even

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,120
gotten rid of the all the old
antique decor and stuff?

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,560
Yeah.
And I was like, for all this, I

72
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,080
can just do Waffle House.
I feel, I feel like they really

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,200
went against their target
demographic with that one.

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
You know what it's like you, You
have a demographic that loves

75
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,800
you.
I think do making all these

76
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200
changes is not going to make the
other demographic love you.

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,520
It's just going to make your
demographic not love you

78
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,880
anymore.
And then and then you're just

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120
floundering.
I feel like grandpa was going

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,400
there, not for the mimosas.
Like, like it's like crazy to

81
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,680
make all those changes because
yeah, I've, I've been there not

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,720
a lot, but the last couple times
I've been there just wasn't a

83
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,360
good experience.
It was like just not what wasn't

84
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
what I remembered.
The Cracker Burr store, on the

85
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600
other hand, seems to be firing
all cylinders like they've done

86
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,600
all the crazy stuff as always.
So you know that that's still.

87
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Maybe.
I, I, yeah, I don't and I, I'm

88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,440
not, I'm not like a shop there,
but it seems like they're

89
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480
always, maybe I don't know if
there's cuz they're not busy,

90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,320
but everything's like really,
well, not that I go in there a

91
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,240
lot, but seems like they've got
so much stuff that diversity

92
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,360
and, you know, whatever it is, I
feel like.

93
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Diversity.
You don't mean like the woke

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,320
diversity, just a bunch of
different.

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Stuff a bunch of different
stuff, whether it's like old

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,280
timey stuff.
I feel like they got the little

97
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,040
the little like ball with like
the weasel thing, you know what

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,120
I'm saying?
Like that's like a classic

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Cracker Barrel thing.
When I was there, you always

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,480
turned those toys on and you
know, they just, you know, got

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,560
us rocking the rocking chair,
played some checkers.

102
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,520
It's just, you know, classic,
classic stuff.

103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,200
But man.
So I picked, it wasn't really

104
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,040
gifted to me.
It was like you can go pick it

105
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,880
out.
So I took the money that my

106
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,280
mother-in-law gave me and the
mother the money that my wife

107
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760
and one of my daughter's has
pledged to me.

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,720
Nice.
I like the way you said that

109
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,920
it's been pledged but.
Yeah, because in in Arkansas is

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,720
helping Tommy.
Tommy.

111
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Trees.
OK, Yeah, with chainsaw.

112
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,720
OK, so I picked up a chainsaw
from Oh, nice.

113
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,240
Not the room, not that one, but
they have like Craftsman.

114
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,920
I used he, he had both.
He had a steel and a Craftsman

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,680
battery operated.
And you know what, for the size

116
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,560
trees that I'm taking down in
our backyard, that that battery

117
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560
operated one is gonna be fine
'cause I'm not cutting a big

118
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,920
tree down.
Battery operated.

119
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Everything seems to be pretty
awesome.

120
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Yeah, it's like so quiet to like
you can like mow your I It's

121
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,840
pretty amazing because you hear
that and you're like, man, does

122
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:44,720
it have power?
These things.

123
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,240
I mean, I'm not saying they're
like industrial whatever, but it

124
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,680
they're pretty.
They do pretty good.

125
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Yeah, it was it, it did fine.
I mean it cut until it just

126
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,920
stopped cutting cause the
battery went down.

127
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360
So for for Father's Day I got
him some battery so that he can

128
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,600
have one.
He can you know be charging 1

129
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,000
and I got the only one he had
was 2 amp hours and that's kind

130
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,680
of small.
So I got him one that had a pack

131
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,520
of A4 amp hour and a 2 amp hour.
So he has a total of 8 amp hours

132
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,600
of work that he could use, which
is as he can cut down quite a

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,960
bit with that now.
So yeah.

134
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Dude, I love it.
Father's Day for for the win.

135
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,200
You know what's the next
holiday, I guess is July 4th,

136
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,480
the next thing that's coming up.
Yeah, no Kings Days, July 4th,

137
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,920
where we kicked King George out.
No kings say get out of here.

138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,120
Let's get out of here.
But but by the time this airs,

139
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,520

Because I suggested pickleball.

152
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200
You did.
Can you say, well, we were doing

153
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,080
pickleball again?
And in my defense, I think the

154
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,000
third was thrown out by you
initially.

155
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,360
I, I think I said maybe like
that just that first Sunday in

156
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,240
August, not knowing, not looking
at a calendar.

157
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,480
And then I looked at it as the
third, our anniversary is the

158
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440
4th.
So it's like we're probably

159
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,520
going to be, you know?
Just do your have your

160
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,320
anniversary at the pickle bar.
It'd be great.

161
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,720
It'll be great, yeah.
Yeah.

162
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,440
Be fun they would be your wife
would love it because.

163
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,160
It can be right next to the
pickleball.

164
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000
That would be great.
Your wife would see a lot of

165
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720
purpose and that decision.
Yeah, Yeah, it would be.

166
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,160
It would be.
Meaningful, but you thought and

167
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,120
designed it.
It wasn't random chance.

168
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,600
No, no, because it could be
necessity or not necessity or I

169
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,080
love it chance or not chance
yet.

170
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,360
So you're, I think you're
alluding to the topic of our

171
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000
podcast.
This is episode 2.

172
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Episode 2.
Of the theological argument or

173
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,000
we're going to talk about, you
know, the sun and the stars and

174
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240
the Earth and the moon.
So with that, let's take it to

175
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:17,400
the next level.
From the hearts of the Low

176
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,720
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where

177
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,880
we take theology to the next
level.

178
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,520
OK, so today, yes, most circles,
if you talk about the

179
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,520
theological argument, especially
like the philosophical

180
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080
apologetic ones, they're just
going to go straight to the fine

181
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
tuning argument, which I think
is a great, very powerful

182
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,400
argument.
But it feels like they've

183
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
abandoned some of the other
stuff that's that's there.

184
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,800
And so this episode, we wanted
to look at some of those other

185
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:53,840
things that, you know, are there
that we, I, I think it's harder

186
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440
to defend these in a debate.
OK, yeah, that's probably why

187
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,920
they get skipped over.
A little bit, yeah.

188
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Yeah.
Because, you know, you get into

189
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,600
evolution and all this other
stuff, but I'm not willing to

190
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,240
give up that ground.
Of course, I'm not debating

191
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,280
someone either, but I think that
these are some good, good

192
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
things.
So just a recap of what we

193
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,560
talked about last time.
We did talk about specified

194
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,080
complexity.
So it's specific and complex.

195
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,680
So like if a magician shows you
a card, that's not that big of a

196
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,080
deal 'cause there's 52 in there.
But if he shows you one that you

197
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,480
signed that, you know, went
through some crazy thing that

198
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,920
was locked up that was complex
and specific to you, that's a

199
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,840
big deal.
Talked about irreducible

200
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,080
complexity.
And then we talked about kind of

201
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,560
the three options for the, the,
the apparent design that we see

202
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,200
there were the fine tune that we
see it could be necessary.

203
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,680
If it's not necessary, it's not
then it's not necessary.

204
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,080
And then that falls into two
categories of chance of design

205
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760
and it can't be just a little
bit of design, but mostly

206
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,400
chance.
It's like.

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Yeah, you got to make your bed
and lie in it, Yeah.

208
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,800
It's got to be one of those.
So we're going to talk about

209
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160
some of the layers of apparent
design that we see in our

210
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,480
universe, and we're going to
start with our genetic code.

211
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,440
OK, Someone famously said that
you wouldn't.

212
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,160
Microsoft would not code by
chance, although some maybe some

213
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240
hackers would disagree with
that.

214
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Shots fired.
But you know the genetic code is

215
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
a software code.
Now you have a degree in.

216
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,920
What was your bachelor's degree
in?

217
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,160
It was more or less you don't
want this answer.

218
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,480
I'm going to give you a much
longer answer.

219
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,880
It was more I went to school, I
wish I could have done

220
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,400
kinesiology because I've been
better.

221
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:43,000
But my degree they did not have
enough doctoral or PhDs to make

222
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600
it work for a kinesiology
degree.

223
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,520
So I was a pre physical therapy
which basically meant I had to

224
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
take all.
I had to take more on the

225
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,560
science department than the.
Like.

226
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Exercise department which was
stupid.

227
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,200
So I have like stupid bio
organic chemistry classes, micro

228
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,240
like things that like it's good
for foundational but for really

229
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,160
PT you just need like 8 credits
to physics, 8 credits to

230
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,880
chemistry, 8 of biology.
You just do like basics.

231
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,040
But then I had to take all these
stupid classes and I did not

232
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,320
take movement science classes as
much.

233
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,320
But anyway, here we are, yeah.
Yeah.

234
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640
So you probably know DNA has
those 4 bases, right?

235
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,720
GTAG.
GTA and CI believe and then RNA

236
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,560
one of those gets swapped.
Something, yeah.

237
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Yeah, and one of those goes
away.

238
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,960
We're trying to remember, but
basically those are called

239
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,360
codons because they code for
amino acids.

240
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,720
So if you put, you know, I think
they're like groups of three

241
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,720
like AAT or AT and you put those
together, then you're coding for

242
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,320
different amino acids.
And that is how you build your,

243
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,960
your proteins, building blocks
and your enzymes.

244
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,320
So I've, I've said it like this
before.

245
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:06,280
Imagine that you had coded for
your house this long string of

246
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,840
construction materials.
And what happened was you would

247
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,160
get this delivered on site and
then like, you would put like

248
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,520
the first little bit of that
long string.

249
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,640
It would be miles long maybe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

250
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,080
And then you wrapped it and
formed it so that all, you know,

251
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,920
boom, your stairs are there.
You know, your floor is there,

252
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,880
your cabinets are there.
And like all of all of these

253
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,080
construction materials wrapped
in them one way only to form

254
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360
your house.
That's basically what's

255
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,720
happening when you your DNA is
coding for these very complex

256
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,200
enzymes.
It's not just, Yeah, I think on,

257
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,920
on one level, you're like GATC.
It's not that many, but it's

258
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,280
like, no, it's like when you're
stringing these together, it is

259
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,880
very complex.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

260
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:55,480
And you, you it just the fact
that anyone would think this

261
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,600
would come by chance.
Yeah, that's that's tough.

262
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160
And someone's also mentioned,
you know, you have pieces in

263
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,840
your cell.
It's like your DNA is the record

264
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,560
but you also have to have a
record player.

265
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600
Maybe I should update that.
A.

266
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,600
C.
DEI don't.

267
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,800
And a CD player.
Or maybe I should update that

268
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,520
MP3MP3 player, but you have the
thing that has the information

269
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,400
on it.
But that does no good.

270
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,680
Unless you can read it and
replicate it and understand

271
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,560
what's there.
And both of those mechanisms

272
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,720
have to be there together.
And so there's been some ideas

273
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,960
about how my one of those might
evolve by themselves, but it's

274
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,280
like, how does that happen?
Seeing it boggles the mind.

275
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760
Yeah, it's like even the most,
Again, I feel like these

276
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,480
skeptics, it's like their only
appeal is Infinity or you know

277
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,880
what I mean?
Like it's like, that's like the,

278
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480
I feel like I just hear that so
much because I think they

279
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,280
recognize that it isn't.
That's all you could.

280
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,080
That's all you can.
Yeah, Yeah, we have.

281
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,960
We already talked about some of
these, like these very complex

282
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,560
molecular machines that we see,
like even when I was talking

283
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:06,760
like there are these little
things that look like they are

284
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,720
basically forklifts of the cell
that carry things into.

285
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,800
It's kind of funny when you see
like under the like how things

286
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,120
move and stuff it is.
It's like a very complex city

287
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
just in your cell.
We talked about the flagellum

288
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,200
last time.
You know, it's like a motor that

289
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,200
helps the that bacterium get
where it's going.

290
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,600
If you look at our ecosystems,
you know there's a reason that

291
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360
you know we don't want all the
bees killed.

292
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Yeah, man.
You just watch the Bee Movie and

293
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,680
you know, cool.
Have you seen the big movie?

294
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,120
I've never not seen the Bee
Movie.

295
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,480
That's Lydia's favorite.
Movie.

296
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Is it really?
Yeah.

297
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Yeah.
Big Seinfeld fan.

298
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Yeah, well, I don't.
Know if she's a big.

299
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,320
Seinfeld fan?
I'm kidding.

300
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

301
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,040
But, you know, we look at our
Earth, things seem to be

302
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,640
balanced to where you have
certain, you know, ecosystems,

303
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,800
certain systems that, you know,
provide certain nutrients or

304
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,240
they do certain functions,
certain organisms in an

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,960
ecosystem.
I talked about, you know,

306
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,560
driving, taking an exit to my
parents' house, Judsonia,

307
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:13,160
probably like exit 52 on Hwy. 57
in, in Arkansas.

308
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,400
So you know exactly where I am
and I see this dead armadillo,

309
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,600
man, you know where I'm going
with this.

310
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,120
I knew before you got to this,
yeah.

311
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,520
And I see this vulture eating
the dead armadillo, but it's

312
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,120
eating it from its rear end.
Like it's head.

313
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160
It's inside the body cavity from
the rear end.

314
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,240
I'm like that's, you know,
that's a good thing because that

315
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,640
you need that vulture is
devouring this this animal.

316
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
So that's all part of those
finally balanced ecosystems.

317
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,200
It's great.
People are like always

318
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,280
composting things, like it all
like works, you know what I'm

319
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,880
saying?
Yeah, You know, so it is, it is

320
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,720
pretty incredible how there's
something to take care of

321
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
something.
And and it's like even these

322
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,440
people that don't believe in a
creator are like the circle of

323
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240
life or you know what I mean?
Like they're like, this is

324
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,520
great, you know?
Yeah, and there we could go on.

325
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,640
We could make a whole.
We could just look at the

326
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,800
biodiversity of life.
We could take a whole episode

327
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,320
for that.
I will mention there are like so

328
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:13,640
many animals that look like
other animals to scare predators

329
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,040
away.
Like you have the moths with the

330
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040
eyes on it and it's like that
looks like a perfect eye.

331
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,800
There are some Caterpillar that
looks like a snake.

332
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Have you seen this?
There's some flowers that look

333
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
like like they like.
It looks just like an animal.

334
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,480
That's amazing, yeah.
That information had to come

335
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
from somewhere, so.
Just random, man.

336
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,840
Just just just appear.
Yeah, there's yeah, I love it.

337
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Example after example after
example.

338
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Yeah, All right, so now we're
gonna go from live to Earth

339
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,120
itself.
Earth has plate tectonics, and

340
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,320
if you're Phoebe and you're
afraid of volcanoes and lava,

341
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:55,440
it's not a good thing.
But if you need carbon silicate

342
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,000
cycles so that those are renewed
all around the globe so that

343
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,840
life can happen, well, then you
need plate tectonics because the

344
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,000
lava coming up and the rock
getting melted, all of that

345
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960
forms a cycle.
And what drives our plate

346
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:17,480
tectonics that we, from what we
can tell are heavy radioactive

347
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,800
elements in our crust and the
heat from those and the heat

348
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,359
from the core that is driving
those.

349
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,400
So, you know, we have just the
right amount of radioactive

350
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,000
elements in our crust to help
help drive some of some of those

351
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560
things going because those warm
everything up.

352
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,680
I love it.
Yeah.

353
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,840
Is man, have you, have you been
in a earthquake before?

354
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,520
I have not have you?
No, not been in earthquake.

355
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,960
There's been earthquake, but
been to I I my favorite trip

356
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,400
ever.
When we went to, we went to

357
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,560
Iceland, a lot of volcanoes,
that kind of thing.

358
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,400
And there were so many like
islands that were like, so like

359
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,600
this island popped up this year
or whatever from, you know, from

360
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,320
volcanic activity.
It wasn't here and then all of a

361
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,400
sudden it was here.
And that's pretty amazing.

362
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,880
And then we recently, too, went
to the Volcano National Park in

363
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Hawaii.
And, you know, yeah, they show

364
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,160
you how all these things happen,
you know?

365
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,880
There's a recent video that hit
and if I'm listening to this

366
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,680
while I'm producing it and I
remember, I'll put.

367
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,440
I'll try to finally put the link
in the in the in the notes, but

368
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,560
it shows the first slip fault
earthquake caught on camera.

369
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,440
You should you should look at it
because there is like a building

370
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,480
that's like built right on this
side of the fault and you can

371
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,920
see like the earth just moved
like these two pieces of land

372
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,600
just move past each other like 3
feet and it's like that is

373
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,080
insane.
First time that we know of it is

374
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,720
caught on camera because it's
not like a lot of rolling and

375
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,480
stuff.
It's just like.

376
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Yeah, it's, it's pretty.
Yeah.

377
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,960
It's like so cool.
All the stuff that we just don't

378
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,400
see here 'cause we're not around
a lot of it like walking through

379
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,240
like lava tunnels or it's like
all these things are just like

380
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,880
so crazy.
I did make my wife when we were

381
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,240
in Iceland, she was pregnant
with Jordan and there was like

382
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,200
an active volcano and we were
hiking and she was like, I'm

383
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,000
pregnant.
But we we were able to hike

384
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,360
like, pretty good.
And it was like, they're like,

385
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,760
you need to be everything.
Everyone is like when you're

386
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,720
pregnant, you can't do certain
things and there's like fumes.

387
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,520
From lava you can do it's.
Fine.

388
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,120
We did it.
We made it.

389
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:20,160
It was, it was a little kind of
little dicey in the moment.

390
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,880
But afterwards, he's really glad
we did it.

391
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,080
That's good.
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

392
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,560
All right, so plate tectonics,
ozone layer, you know we have

393
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,800
basically you were growing up
during the time where ozone,

394
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,400
there's a whole ozone.
It's yeah.

395
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,000
That's all cleared up.
I mean, for good reason 'cause

396
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,560
we stopped using some certain
chemicals that would, you know,

397
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,000
knock out the ozone and that's
depleted.

398
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,280
But the, you know, the ozone
layer, how that forms it, the

399
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240
how our, our Earth is able to
hold those different layers of

400
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,920
atmosphere blocks the
ultraviolet radiation, our axial

401
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,400
tilt 23.5° stabilizes, gives us,
you know, rhythms and

402
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,160
temperature variations.
You know, if that were more, if

403
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600
it was dead on, that's not a
good thing 'cause you then you

404
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,840
don't get seasons and then we
need seasons.

405
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,280
If it's more than it's like much
more chaotic, you know, 'cause I

406
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,160
think Uranus is basically tilted
where it almost like spins

407
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,960
facing.
Oh, that's interesting.

408
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,800
So.
It's like always.

409
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Yeah, yeah.
The distance from the sun, we're

410
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,360
in that Goldilocks zone where
water can be liquid and solid

411
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:29,440
and gas.
We have abundance of water again

412
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,480
on the old Earth view that water
was not there with the

413
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,480
protoplanet when it formed.
So we believe, you know,

414
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,320
scientists believe that some
very water heavy comet smacked

415
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240
the Earth in its early days and
delivered water.

416
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,720
So if that's the case, then we
have water, extraterrestrial

417
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,400
water that you're drinking right
there.

418
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Dude, I knew.
I knew Dasani.

419
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,760
There's something to it.
But we have an abundance of

420
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,480
water more than what we should
have had.

421
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,160
We just formed naturally, so we
so something brought us some

422
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,520
some extra water or godspoken in
existence.

423
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,160
Either way, that's.
Right.

424
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,920
We do have a very strong
magnetic field.

425
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,400
Looks like it's going to flip
here sometime in the next

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,320
thousand 2000 years, sometime
between one year and 1000 years.

427
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,240
We don't know when it's going
to.

428
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,360
Happen.
Have you heard of these people

429
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,280
that are like gravity's not
real?

430
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,720
It's like more electromagnetism
or, you know, or it's like more

431
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,040
along those lines versus you're.
Saying maybe you're talking

432
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,480
about like star formation.
Stars are held together together

433
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,560
by electromagnetism rather than
gravity.

434
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,440
That might be where they like
draw some of that from.

435
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,480
Like there's I'll, I'll have to
show you this like popped up

436
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,200
maybe like a year ago.
Not a credible source, but

437
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,400
there's like this actor Howard
Terrence Howard who went on

438
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,400
again, not endorsing Joe Rogan
podcast, but he was like, I've

439
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480
unlocked this like new
technology that they're trying

440
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920
to suppress and it's like
gravity's not real.

441
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,000
It's all based on, but it, I
think it takes some of the

442
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,520
theory and they apply it and
they're like, this is the key to

443
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,960
like everything.
He was really passionate about

444
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,760
it.
Maybe I need to listen to that,

445
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,400
But we do have a magnetic field
Shields us from the solar wind.

446
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,280
The solar wind is actually
pretty strong.

447
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,280
You know, we have this probe
that we sent out, Voyager 1,

448
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,120
Voyeur 2, one of those it has
crossed over and it's starting

449
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:30,320
to get into that region where
the it's the end of basically

450
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,880
the sun's changing the
environment and so he gets it,

451
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,920
gets out into it.
Actually, the can create a sound

452
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,200
based on the particles that it's
hitting because the Sun's

453
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,560
particles basically clear a path
around the galactic particles,

454
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,920
you know, kind of Shields us
from those.

455
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,080
But then we have a magnetic
field that Shields us from the

456
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,120
sun's particles that it's
sending.

457
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,520
So if you've ever seen the
Northern Lights or if you've

458
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,640
been on the other hemisphere,
the Southern lights, that is the

459
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,600
the solar wind basically getting
taken care of by our magnetic.

460
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,360
Story.
Is it just like what's the like

461
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:11,960
in the last year?
Everyone's like, I saw the

462
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,360
Northern Lights from Alabama,
you know what I'm saying?

463
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:15,880
Yeah.
I don't know why.

464
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Why did that happen?
Yeah.

465
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,040
Why does everyone see the
Northern Lights every day now?

466
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,760
Like it just like, or they're
like, hey, but when I you know,

467
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,520
it just seems like everyone sees
it all the time.

468
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,200
Yeah.
So our sun is on a 13 year, I

469
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,760
believe it's 13 year cycle where
it will go from hardly no

470
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,080
activity to a lot of activity.
And really this is, you know,

471
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,240
you've, if you've ever seen a
magnet and you see those

472
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,240
magnetic wires.
So those, the sun's spinning and

473
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800
for some reason it's around 13
years where it does a complete

474
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,360
cycle of those wires going,
going from pre calm to really

475
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,880
messy back to pretty calm.
And when those wires, the, I

476
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,680
call them wires, but they're
basically the magnetic lines,

477
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,960
when they're messy, it's
throwing a lot of stuff out in

478
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,280
the solar wind.
And so if it's putting a lot of

479
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,880
solar wind out or if it has like
a slow solar flare or something

480
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,400
that is putting a lot of that
stuff out, a lot of charged

481
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,640
particles, then our Earth gets
bombarded with it.

482
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
And then we see it in the lower
latitudes and what you normally

483
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,960
do.
Gotcha.

484
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,280
So it just happens all the time
and just people just every time

485
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,680
I see.
OK, gotcha.

486
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,160
So so it.
Sounds like Oh it'll.

487
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Clear up and you won't, you
know, 13 years from now, people

488
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,600
will maybe see it again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

489
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,880
All right.
And we have a pretty unique

490
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,760
atmosphere.
Oxygen does is not stable.

491
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,240
Yeah.
You don't.

492
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,480
You don't want 99% oxygen.
Is that what you're telling?

493
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Me.
Well, I'm saying if, if we could

494
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,120
see a a planet, we don't know of
any mechanism that would allow

495
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:51,080
oxygen to last a long time by
itself without plants constantly

496
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,640
producing it.
So if all of our plants, if all

497
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,080
the plants and animals went away
tomorrow, yeah, our oxygen

498
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600
levels would slowly because it
would oxidize and it would

499
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,120
combine with other elements.
Question for you, Yeah.

500
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,760
Are there more plants or more
stars?

501
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:13,360
More plants or more stars I'm.
Going to look this up, I don't.

502
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,760
It was just off the top of your
head.

503
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,480
No, no, someone was talking
about this.

504
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,000
I don't know if they were a real
source or.

505
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,760
I would say.
This you.

506
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,080
I would think there'd be a lot
more stars, but maybe but but.

507
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,200
Maybe not, because if you have
single cell you have you could

508
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,760
have trillions.
It depends on what they're

509
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,360
classifying this plant.
Yeah, because the, because the

510
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,040
moral of the story was way more
trees on Earth than stars in the

511
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,360
Milky Way, which I was like, and
I'm looking at this now, it was

512
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:45,080
trees versus stars in the Milky
Way, which was crazy.

513
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,000
But I guess, and I don't know
how good these studies, not to

514
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,040
derail it, but the what the
thing I'm looking at from NASA

515
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,200
estimates there's 400 billion
stars or less in our Galaxy, but

516
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,600
over 3 trillion trees on Earth.
But I guess maybe I don't know

517
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,400
what definition of a tree is,
you know, you know what I mean?

518
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,280
Like, I don't know if like
something small counts as a

519
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,720
tree, you know what I'm saying?
But anyway, yeah, I feel like

520
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,200
there's a lot of stars, but
there's way more trees.

521
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:14,240
I saw someone, it may have been
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Neil

522
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,080
deGrasse Tyson, who was talking
about, you know, the uniqueness

523
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,800
of wood or grass.
He's like, this doesn't happen

524
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,760
out in the universe.
Like, you know, we get all

525
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,400
caught up about diamonds, but
diamonds are actually fairly

526
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,680
common.
That's funny out in the universe

527
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,840
because it's just carbon that's
been compressed.

528
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,120
But you know, so you know,
galactically speaking, you know,

529
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:40,960
a 2 by 4 is more that's like
more valuable than a diamond.

530
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,880
There you go.
When the Yeah, in the economy,

531
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,680
we got the gold mine, so.
So so all the guys out there

532
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,920
don't get your, you know, your
soon to be fiance a diamond.

533
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Get her just get her a piece of
wood.

534
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,600
And say hey, in the scheme of
everything, you are so lucky.

535
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,320
I love.
It all right so we talked about

536
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,520
the Earth we got some other
things to talk about the moon

537
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,320
kind of talked about about this
a little bit last time large

538
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
size relative the Earth
stabilizes our axial tilt and by

539
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,360
extension stabilizes our
climate.

540
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,720
The solar eclipse alignment
enables advanced astronomical

541
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,800
study because of the just right
distance and size during SO.

542
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,800
To your point, I feel like we
have solar eclipses like all the

543
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,480
time.
It's just something that happens

544
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,400
like every couple of months.
Everyone's like, ah, there's a

545
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,880
so I'm like, I'll just catch the
next one.

546
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,800
There's so many.
Everyone's talking about them.

547
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,240
All the time, always just kicks
the next I'll.

548
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,560
Just catch the next one.
I'll be fine.

549
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,560
It seems like they're happening.
It's and maybe just like social

550
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,480
media something.
I feel like it's like all the

551
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,680
time.
It's like, hey, just drive to

552
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,280
Alabama.
There's one happening this month

553
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,440
but like it just seems like a
thing but.

554
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,160
Maybe you're confusing solar and
lunar eclipses?

555
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,520
Maybe I'm there's eclipses or a
dime a dozen.

556
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,440
I'm just saying they're having.
Total solar eclipses are not.

557
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,560
I'll just say that.
I'm just, I'll just put that out

558
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,840
there.
When's the next total solar the

559
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,800
eclipse for South Carolina you
can do you can look on that one

560
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,600
not worry about it.
I'll just.

561
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Get to the next one, I'm sure
people be talking about it.

562
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,640
I think you're just jealous you
didn't go to the go to the one

563
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,280
in Arkansas, so no.
I'm just kidding.

564
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:07,440
I'm just kidding.
I just feel like it's the same

565
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,200
thing with the Northern Lights.
It's like, man, it's just like

566
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,520
all these things happen all the
time.

567
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,800
I feel like when I was a kid I
never heard about these things

568
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:18,320
and now it's like we're like in
the hot spot of there's an

569
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,520
eclipse happening.
Anyway, carry on.

570
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,800
All right, So the Moon also
provides tidal effects,

571
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,240
regulates ocean movement,
supports life cycles, especially

572
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,760
those coastal life cycles, those
tidal plane life cycles, and

573
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,800
then it the Moon, we don't think
of the Moon as a meteor shield

574
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,320
because we think of Jupiter and
won't get onto Jupiter.

575
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,000
I'll just talk about them
together.

576
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,600
Jupiter is massive.
So if you take away the Sun,

577
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:50,240
which is like 99.99% of the mass
of the solar system, if you take

578
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,840
that out of the equation and
just look at the plants, the

579
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,240
planets and the dwarf planets
and the asteroids, Jupiter is

580
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,040
like 98% of the mass of that.
So just completely massive.

581
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,960
Some people say it's like a
failed star didn't didn't make

582
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,040
into a star.
But because of that it, you

583
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,680
know, pulls in those asteroids
or kicks them out.

584
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,120
It helps keep that area clean
for us because without that

585
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,520
cosmic vacuum cleaner we would
get bombarded more often so.

586
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,880
Jupiter.
I'm looking it up 1300 times the

587
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,840
volume of Earth.
Yeah, what about the mass

588
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,480
though?
The mass off.

589
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,320
Look at the mass, it is 11 times
the diameter of Earth.

590
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,360
Let's see if I can find the mass
of this bad boy.

591
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,720
Stay tuned.
While you're doing that, the

592
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,520
other large mass in our solar
system, the Sun is a yellow main

593
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,080
sequence stars.
Now it there are a lot of these

594
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,280
out there, but ours is
particularly heavy in metallic

595
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
content.
And from what I read, it is in

596
00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:01,640
the top five to 10% of stars for
the ratio of heavy elements that

597
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,280
it has because most stars are
just pure hydrogen.

598
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,240
So that heavy metallic
concentration allows for the

599
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,280
formation of rocky planets like
we have, allows for those

600
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,760
planets to have metals in their
core and in their crust.

601
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,080
We have the, you know, the
nickel iron core in the middle

602
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920
of our Earth is what we believe
it is.

603
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,680
And the rotation of that creates
our magnetic field, which we are

604
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,640
talked about protecting us from,
you know, cosmic radiation.

605
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,160
I'm sure you were ever our
listeners who are dying for the

606
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,720
mass of Jupiter.
Earth's mass is 5.9 * 10 to the

607
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,840
24 kilograms.
Jupiter's 1.89 * 10 to the 27.

608
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,800
Wow, so so 1000 more than 1000
times more massive than the

609
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,280
Earth.
So Saturn, the reason that I

610
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800
asked about volume, Saturn
actually has a very large

611
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,200
volume, but a very low density.
Famously, it's less dense than

612
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,120
water.
So it they always like if we had

613
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,080
a galactic ocean, it would float
in the water.

614
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,920
That's how how not dense it is.
So, all right, kind of talked

615
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,520
about that whole section there
about the metallic con, our

616
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,120
galactic address where we are in
the Milky Way.

617
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,880
We are between two spiral arms.
We're not really in the middle

618
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,720
of a spiral arm.
We're between 2:00.

619
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,800
So if you look out on a a dark
night and you see that light

620
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,600
band strip across, that is one
of the bands of the Milky Way

621
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,200
that we can see.
And that means we don't, we're

622
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,160
not running into other stars.
We don't have a lot of

623
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,040
neighbors.
We're pretty safe 'cause you

624
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,520
really think about it.
I was saying about this one

625
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,960
time, I wouldn't want to be an
astronaut.

626
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:01,600
You're in a spaceship and your
existence is dependent on that

627
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:07,520
spaceship's ability to not run
into radiation, provide food for

628
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,400
you.
You know, you're, you're just

629
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,240
out there in space alone.
And then it dawned on me.

630
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Earth is just a gigantic
spaceship.

631
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,920
We're just floating through
space and it's protecting us,

632
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,000
you know, by design and, and it
was what I by.

633
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Man, that is a good point.
Yeah, that's kinda man.

634
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,000
We have a pretty long ways from
the galactic center and there's

635
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,720
a dust cloud between US and the
galactic centers 'cause we

636
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,920
can't.
We don't see clearly, especially

637
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,240
with visible light, the galactic
center.

638
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,760
If that dust cloud was not
there, I'm told we would be able

639
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,600
to read a newspaper at night if
oh 'cause it would be that

640
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,360
bright.
Step right.

641
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,160
Wow.
If we even have survived because

642
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,160
that does cloud.
Help we gotta get better

643
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,360
analogies just like the record
player, like newspaper.

644
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,200
And I'm gonna just derail us
like why are we telling kids

645
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,480
they should be astronauts when
they grow up?

646
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,480
The likelihood is way less than
like an NBA player like we that

647
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,960
just like, come on, you know,
maybe we should be like anyway,

648
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,040
yeah, there's I look like
there's 46 astronauts right now

649
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,480
in NASA.
But there are.

650
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Yeah, But you there probably
there's this key characteristic

651
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,240
about NBA players that not
everyone has, but I'm is there a

652
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,920
key characteristic about that's
a good.

653
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Point I don't know, I don't know
if you can just like work hard

654
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,640
and be an astronaut or there
needs to be like some sort of

655
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,760
like, you know, do they test
well, just like or like, hey, I

656
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,480
just work.
Hard enough to be an NBA player.

657
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,400
That's true.
If you're 5 foot 5, it's just

658
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,040
not in the cards for you most
likely.

659
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,520
So that, that's a good point.
Bugsy, Bugsy Bogues.

660
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,560
Yeah, famously is like 5-3 or
something.

661
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,440
So I guess technically it can
happen.

662
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,920
Exception to the rule.
I'm just saying 46 astronauts,

663
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,080
everyone's telling their kid
he'll be an astronaut.

664
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,960
Just saying, maybe you should
say like, you know, be in, I

665
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,800
don't know, middle management
something, something attainable

666
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,080
anyway.
Yeah.

667
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,600
And then there's actually in our
local group position.

668
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:08,639
So where we are in like where
our Galaxy is in the, you know,

669
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,840
relation to to all the other
galaxies, we're kind of on the

670
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,320
edge there.
Not so far out that we're like

671
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,040
by ourself and we don't have
some of the protections, but not

672
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,840
so close that we're just in the
the mix of things.

673
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,320
Because that's what everyone
just thinks.

674
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,480
I mean, it's like, you know,
everyone's always talking about

675
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,560
asteroids and, you know, we're
going to see stuff and dinosaurs

676
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,360
and all this stuff, you know,
got extinct.

677
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,199
So yeah, it's good.
We're on a good run.

678
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000
All right.
So I listed a bunch of these.

679
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,080
Are these, you know, and I asked
a question, are these defendable

680
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,320
and there are measurements of
these.

681
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,239
I haven't, you know, tried to
give you all the math.

682
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,080
I'm just kind of talking to
those, but you could put these

683
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,679
into a, you know, mathematical
equation and try to figure out,

684
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,320
you know, the rare.
All of these things together.

685
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,239
Too, all of these things
together and it is very rare,

686
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,120
you know.
So this we talked last time

687
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:04,880
about Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay
Richards and Hugh Ross and their

688
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,720
works on showing how improbable
our planet is.

689
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:11,480
And even with all the galaxies,
all the stars that we have in

690
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,240
there, all the star, all the
planets that those stars have,

691
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,720
you know, the chances of another
life permitting planet being out

692
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:22,160
there are very, very, very,
very, very, very low.

693
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,920
Man, so if it is so low, what do
people say?

694
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,000
You know, like what's the,
what's the pushback, if you

695
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,680
will?
Yeah.

696
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,040
So some people would put, you
know, forth this anthropic

697
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,400
principle.
And we talked about a little bit

698
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,680
of this last episode and then I
might say, of course, it looks

699
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,080
fine-tuned for life because if
it wasn't fine-tuned for life,

700
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,880
we wouldn't have life and we
wouldn't be able to be here to,

701
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,840
you know, observe it.
And John Leslie famously put

702
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,400
forward this firing squad
example.

703
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,200
William Lane Craig repeats it
often.

704
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,040
You know, imagine that you're a
convicted felon and and you and

705
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,000
you weren't the president
because you're about to get

706
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:12,640
executed and you have 12 sharp
shooters and they say ready,

707
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,200
aim, fire.
You hear the blast and you're

708
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,000
still there.
And, and it would be like you

709
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,160
going, why am I still hearing
someone saying, of course you're

710
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,240
still here because you wouldn't
be able to ask why unless you

711
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,880
were still here.
And like, no, no, no, no, of

712
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,360
course I'm still here because
that's why I can ask the

713
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,720
question.
But there needs to be a good

714
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,080
explanation for how all twelve
of these people missed.

715
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,120
Like, that doesn't just happen
by chance, and it's not

716
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,840
necessary.
So something by design happened.

717
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,600
And that's just 12 people
missing.

718
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,440
Far less.
Yeah.

719
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,280
Yeah.
Far less, you know, random than

720
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,760
than what I'm trying.
You know what I'm?

721
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,480
Trying to say I know what you're
trying to say.

722
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,720
I gotcha.
All right, some people put

723
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,880
forward evolution for our
biological design.

724
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:08,520
Problem with that is natural
selection removes traits.

725
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,480
It's hard to.
Like usually if some someone's

726
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,560
like hey, I got 3 arms, that's
like not good.

727
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,800
Like that's like, oh, something
went wrong.

728
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Yeah, you know what I mean?
It's like, oh, we just gained

729
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,080
something new.
This is awesome.

730
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:20,800
Right.
Yeah.

731
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,760
So you have, first of all,
natural selection works on

732
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,480
information that's there.
So the life has to be there to

733
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,520
begin with it.
There is, yeah.

734
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,440
So you have to have something
that's there.

735
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,240
And then if you have like a
population, natural selection

736
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:40,280
basically makes that population
shift its characteristics, but

737
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,680
that population is shifting its
characteristics within what is

738
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,760
already coded for in that
genome.

739
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,320
So if you talk about, you know,
the birds on Galapagos Island

740
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,320
and they had these shifts and
their beak length and, and

741
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,680
strength based on the flowers
that were there, like all of

742
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,920
those are coated within their,
their genes.

743
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,320
And what we've seen is that's
largely on the rain cycles

744
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,280
because the rain cycles
determine, you know, how Hardy

745
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,960
the plants are.
And so if you just go back, you

746
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,240
see that those populations shift
back.

747
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,360
And yeah, back and forth.
Yeah and and you know this cause

748
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,440
of all the biology you took, but
the like the poster child for

749
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,720
the over adapted population are
the cheetahs.

750
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,240
Cheetahs.
They don't have a lot of genetic

751
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,960
diversity and so something has
happened in the cheetahs life

752
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,880
that has removed like maybe a
disease went through and you had

753
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,640
a small, you know, maybe 10,000
cheetahs survive that disease

754
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,040
and all of them got selected
because they were able to

755
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,200
survive.
But that survival, the fittest

756
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,520
took away all that variation
that was in their genome.

757
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:54,280
And so you have these cheetahs
that are actually over adapted

758
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,960
now and they don't have the
genetic diversity because they

759
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,480
can't write.
So all I'm saying is survival of

760
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,320
the fittest at at most it can
push your population in

761
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,000
different directions.
Like you know, the peppered

762
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,560
moth, it can push more of the
individuals to be in dark or

763
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,360
more of the individuals to be in
white.

764
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,320
But if it pushes too far, it
doesn't create something new, IT

765
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,920
just strips away variation out
of the population.

766
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,840
Yeah, that that's really good
'cause I feel like there's

767
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,960
always some like one of those
examples animals people point

768
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,240
to.
And it's not that it's not that

769
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:32,120
like crazy or it's especially
those, these ones that happen so

770
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,040
fast, like those that it's like,
oh, if it happens that fast, it

771
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:40,680
can go very fast back.
That's that's good 'cause no

772
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,720
one, I hate that they like
convolute this stuff 'cause no

773
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,160
one's saying that that's not
true.

774
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,120
You know what I mean?
Like everyone's like micro

775
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,000
evolution.
Great.

776
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,360
Like, yeah, you go to Bob Jones.
They're like, we love micro

777
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,160
evolution, this is good.
And you're like, well, you know,

778
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,200
it's like.
But yeah, so.

779
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,560
Micro evolution AKA adaptation.
Exactly, Yeah.

780
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,640
Another push back is the
multiverse.

781
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,520
We've alluded to this before.
Especially now I feel like it's

782
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000
very, it's like more popular,
right?

783
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,880
Thanks a lot, Marvel.
It's not testable, it's not

784
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,600
fossifiable.
There's no.

785
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,000
That's the problem, you just
throw it out.

786
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,520
There, Yeah, the multiverse,
yeah.

787
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:18,000
Well the problem is it just
kicks the can back because it in

788
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,680
order for the multiverse to
explain this, it has to be

789
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,520
producing.
Some level, yeah, Yeah.

790
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Yeah, all these different types
of universes and there has to be

791
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,000
some way that it can produce
basically an infinite number in

792
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,760
order to overcome the odds.
And those infinite numbers need

793
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,200
to have all the different
variations in there.

794
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,160
See, this is the problem though,
'cause this is like what people

795
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,200
like Neil deGrasse Tyson like,
like people that are like,

796
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:48,000
popular credentialed or like,
well, if there was enough, you

797
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,080
know, this many, at some point
it's gonna happen, Yeah.

798
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,480
In fact, in order for the
multiverse to explain away what

799
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,320
we're talking about here, it
actually over explains it.

800
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,920
Because if the multiverse is
true and it's producing an

801
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,560
infinite number of universes
that have all the different

802
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,680
parameters there, then we have
had this conversation an

803
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,440
infinite number of times on
those different universes.

804
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's like that, doesn't this

805
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,040
doesn't make sense.
All right.

806
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,080
And then the last one would be
like God of the gaps.

807
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,840
Oh, you don't understand how
this happens.

808
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,720
So you're just saying there's a
gap in our knowledge.

809
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,400
You're just shoving God in there
to explain to our account for

810
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,680
that gap.
Nowhere have we said we don't

811
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,840
understand what we're talking
about.

812
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,800
We're saying we do understand
what we're talking about.

813
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,960
We do understand software code.
We do understand DNA.

814
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,560
We do understand, you know, all
these different parameters.

815
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,520
And we're saying that it points
to some type of design.

816
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,520
These things don't happen by
chance.

817
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,560
There's nothing that's, you
know, physically or

818
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,640
metaphysically necessary about
these things.

819
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,800
It could have been different.
And so it it's it points to

820
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:03,080
there being a designer science
can deal without agent activity.

821
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,840
So all your forensic sciences,
you know, it would be weird if

822
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,440
you came into a room and someone
was dead and you're like, I

823
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,040
think someone did this.
You're like, no, that's not

824
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,680
science.
There must be a natural

825
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,160
explanation for this guy to have
died.

826
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,200
You're like, well, he's got a
knife in his heart.

827
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,680
That's not a natural
explanation.

828
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Well, even though it looks like
natural explanation, you're

829
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,600
using murder of the gaps to
explain this scene.

830
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,680
They're like, no, that's we, we
understand how these causes

831
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,880
happen.
You know, it's OK for us to, to

832
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,800
point to an agent to, to do
these, even if that agent is,

833
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,120
you know, incorporeal God or.
You.

834
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Know being like that we would
say God is.

835
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,200
No, I like it because it's like
everywhere.

836
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080
It's not like you're like, hey,
let's look at this one area.

837
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,800
It's like, hey, here's 25 areas
or more, you know?

838
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,640
In fact, I want to flip the
script when people say science

839
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,400
will eventually figure this out
that science of the gaps because

840
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,360
you're saying science doesn't
know how this.

841
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,160
Happens.
I'm just shoving this the word

842
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,800
science in my gap of knowledge
and that explains it.

843
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,840
Boom.
All right.

844
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,000
So hopefully that was
interesting.

845
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,320
I tried to take some of the math
out of it.

846
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,720
So just talking about those
parameters, how well designed

847
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,440
solar system, Earth life is and
hopefully you can see it.

848
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,240
So next episodes we're going to
peer into a little bit more

849
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:31,280
mathy stuff where we're going to
talk about the the fine tuning

850
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,800
argument, which is one of the
types of arguments in the T

851
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,680
logical family of arguments.
And it'll actually have the

852
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,760
premise 1 premise 2 conclusion.
And we'll talk about those and

853
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,360
and we'll we'll say why it's so
popular in apologetics today.

854
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,640
I love it, can't wait.
That's our take.
