On this episode of Good Heavens! Dan sits down with physicist and author James Sinclair to discuss God and cosmology. James has worked with Dr. William Lane Craig on a number of publications about cosmology and was integral in helping Dr. Craig and "team theism" prepare for this debate!
It was a delightful and wide-ranging conversation centered around the 2014 debate between cosmologist and atheist Dr. Sean Carroll and Christian philosopher Dr. William Lane Craig. On part one we talk about billionaires in space, science fiction, and Dr. Carroll's thoughts on theism in general.
SPOILER ALERT! We discuss the endings of the films Interstellar and Contact, just in case you haven’t seen them!
