In this episode Leah is joined by her guest co-host Greg Foster. They explore how the universe is fine tuned for life. They also deal with four common objections to the conclusion that fine tuning points to a Creator:

1. The multiverse theory does not need a Creator.

2.If the parameters of the world were different, human life would not exist, but other forms of life could still exist.

3. Earth is a fragile planet and is filled with organisms trying to kill us. Does that sound like God finely tuned it?

4. Fine-tuning only gets you as far as deism. It says nothing of the nature of that God.

We explore these objections and conclude that fine-tuning points to a distinctly personal creator.

In the segment breaks we talk about an odd Texas snow storm and how you can connect with us on Patreon.
