@carmenjoyimes @ivpacademic Well deserved! It's a phenomenal book that has helped my church immensely as we've been preaching through Exodus!

No, it does not. There’s what scientists call the fine-tuning problem—the fundamental constants of the universe must have just the value they do have for life to exist—things like the force of gravity, the charge of the electron, the expansion rate of the universe, and so on.

For example, if the force of gravity were only slightly stronger or slightly weaker, the universe could not support life. (The margin of error in the universe's expansion rate is only 1 part in 10 to the 60th.)

An article in the New York Times says, “These mysterious numbers … are like the knobs on God’s control console, and they seem almost miraculously tuned to allow life.”

Cosmologists sometimes call this the Goldilocks dilemma: How did the density of the universe turn out not too high, not too low, but just right?

To grasp the problem, imagine a universe-creating machine, with thousands of dials representing the gravitational constant, the charge on the electron, the mass of the proton, and so on.

Each dial has hundreds of possible settings, and you can twirl them around at will—there’s nothing that presets them to any particular setting.

What you discover is that each of these thousands of dials just happens to be set to just the right value for life to exist. The slightest change would make a universe where life was impossible.

One astronomer said, “I am not a religious person, but I could say this universe is designed very well for the existence of life.” “The basic forces in the universe are tailor-made for the production of . . . carbon-based life.”

The famous astronomer Fred Hoyle was also an atheist, yet he said: "A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with the physics."

Or as astrophysicist Paul Davies puts it, “It’s almost as if a Grand Designer had it all figured out.”

Seeing all of the work for #ProjectDragon drop into the internet at once is wild. This looks like an incredibly compelling game that was only weeks away from announcing. Very surprised to see something like this cut short. #BringBackProjectDragon

I LOVE this.

Somebody should have told Jesus not to let Mary sit as his feet. Way to ruin a good teaching moment!

@DoktorPandos "I am just noticing that IN Matthew in Hebrew there is nothing that I see that is not consonant with Judaism."

Well the Temple authorities certainly thought there was :P

@writercollin how do you fumble Silk?! She's got tons of story hooks!

People are shocked when I present the psych data showing that boys learn empathy and caring for the needs of others primarily from their fathers, not their mothers. Daniel Grose (from IG) shows how fathers form it. ⬆️ time boys spend with dad = ⬆️ boy’s empathy. #DadsMatter

The Helldivers 2 community was tricked by Sony.

Sony declared having a PSN account would be mandatory to play Helldivers 2. The community revolted and trashed the games review score to 13% positive. Sony walked it back and stated they wouldn't be making PSN mandatory.

Declaring victory the community undid the massive wave of negative reviews. Yet Sony did something sinister in the background. They restricted Helldivers 2 from being purchased in all 177 countries where PSN isn't available.

They fooled you and the devs are still fighting to fix it.
