This is such an important conversation. When I read Einstein, I saw his struggle with the Big Bang. Hawkins, too. The closer you look at nature, the more intelligent design reveals itself. Thank you for the extensive revelation.
This is an amazing walk through of the hundreds of books I read during college that solidified my understanding of how science proves God’s existence. Thanks for this Matt and Dr. Bergsma!
@tombullish3198 As a Christian myself, it's also uninformed, too. Science doesn't "prove" things. God is also a topic within Metaphysics, which is beyond the domain of science. So, science can't tell us anything about whether God exists or not. Only philosophy can. That's not a knock against apologetics, it's just not putting up with Scientism.
I intellectually entertained the new atheist movement right before my conversion to catholicism in high school. This whole podcast just sent me back to my cringe middle school and high school freshmen self. Praise be to God that He is evident in the natural philosophies of science because it led me straight to Him.
Thank you, Matt, for having Dr. Bergsma on again. He is my favorite of your guests, after the exorcists, and possibly Fr. Andrew with his exuberance (and my fascination) over the Sacred Shroud. ☺️
Very true that the more advanced you become in a field of expertise the more you realize how little you know. It's one of the reasons why a little bit of knowledge can sometimes be a dangerous thing.
Isn't it weird how confident Bergsma sounds in these arguments if this is the case? Sounds like he's made up his mind in stark contrast to most of the professionals in these fields, and confidently so. And weirdly aligns perfectly with all of the popular criticisms put forth by the Discovery Institute.
More important to realize is: The more credentials someone obtains, the more they become accustomed to being treated as if they're the one with the answers. Pride very easily follows. Much of the time, when PhDs say, "the more advanced you become in a field, the more you realize you don't know" they're ironically saying this from a prideful perspective. Because they say it as if one must have a PhD to truly be humble. Which isn't true at all. No credentials are needed for humility and they usually result in pride, not humility.
What a small world…I dated Dr Bergsma niece for about a year. Crazy to think the more and more my faith grew now I listen to this guy and Am 100x more religious and faithful than when I was younger full circle moment 🤔
Yes! Came home from a quick trip with my family and all the kids were relaxed. I sat down in my living room, grabbed the remote, and realized I don't watch anything. Turned the thing off.
Wow, I have had alot of this stuff floating around in my head in bits and pieces for years, but to hear it laid out and explained from A to Z was incredible. Bravo for having the conversation and allowing all of us to listen in, thank you very much and God bless both of you.
@niklaswikstrom78 this use to be my stock response as well. I could never imagine an atheist becoming religious. But I now realize that is just the ego talking.
@@niklaswikstrom78 to apply the principal of charity to OP here, I think it's fair to ask you this question: On what grounds do you confidently declare that, correct or incorrect in their beliefs, OP was not an atheist at some point in their life? That would require an immense amount of knowledge regarding a person's (and in this case, a very specific online stranger's) life that I am doubtful you have on hand. Could you explain your conclusion to me?
@@SteppingStone445 agreed! There is such incredible depth of knowledge in each episode, that it's difficult to absorb it fully in only one watch/listen. There are many that I've been through more than once.
@@John_Six He didn't say he was a scientist himself but he pretends to be well read on those subjects when he clearly isn't. He doesn't know the basic arguments and has a clear agenda. The whole ID movement seems dishonest and coward. It started as a way to bypass the prohibition of teaching religion at American (and some other places) schools. I'm a believer and don't need to hide that. It is also clear that ID folks don't imply that their designer could be space aliens or that we live in a simulation. He claims to have enough knowledge to debunk evolution, which is wrong. Clint's Reptiles YT channel has a great video on evolution, where he shows what would need to be discovered to falsify it and also shows all evidence for it plus counter arguments against those arguments brought forward by anti-evolution people. The follow up video, in which he discusses the reactions on his video, also showed the cultish behsviour of many atheists. Clint had already expected insults from the ethically unhinged part of the creationism movement but he was surprised by the insults and hate he got from atheists, who had previously enjoyed his evolution, phylogeny and exotic pet keeping videos. They were so hateful because he revealed that he is actively religious (praying, going to church etc.) and that statement alone made him their enemy. Darwin discovered natural selection and "random" mutation (random just from s purely methodologically naturalist perspective) based evolution. The first type genetic inheritance mechanism was discovered by the monk Mendel
First time hearing of Dr. Bergsma! He is one of the most enjoyable people to listen to. Intelligent, succinct, thoughtful, easy to understand! I watch a lot of these type of podcast, and he is by far one of the top three easy to understand and respectful if I was going share an video with a non-believer. I think John Lennox and Stephen Meyer might be the other two lecturers I would feel comfortable sharing with non Christian’s.
I so appreciate Dr Bergsma's knowledge, his willingness to share it, and his ability to TEACH and communicate so well to us. Thank you for being understandable!

Such a great conversation! I knew Bergsm was a great scripture scholar, but I had no idea he was so well educated on atheism and science. I am even more impressed now. Thanks Matt!
Thank you for this episode!!! I’ve heard so much about the Kalam argument and fine tuning, but I’ve never fully understood what those were until now. So helpful
Yay!! I am so glad you are having Dr. Bergsma on again. He might be my favourite guest which is saying something considering that there have been so many excellent people on Pints. Everyone please go watch the other episodes with the Dr. if you haven't already!
Y’all have to bring on Kenneth Miller! He’s awesome: an evolutionist, cell biologist, professor at Brown, author of several textbooks and nonfiction books, expert witness, and devout Catholic.
@@johnbrion4565 The difference is that theistic evolution isn't actually random but merely appears so. For God, the outcome is clear. Regarding the pure science of the physical world, it is kinda the same evolution (Dawkins believes a specific theory that evolution only happens at the gene level while most hold to the multi level selection) but atheists reject anything beyond the physical world.
I don't know how many times I've said this, so I apologize for repeating myself, 😅 but this is quite possibly one of your very best, most interesting episodes. I can't possibly say enough about how much I enjoyed this. In addition to Matt, Dr. Bergsma is one of my favorite people and his depth of knowledge is incredible. Please have him back again! Lastly, we are praying for the recovery of his son, Francis. 🙏
Amazing show!!! Will share with my older kids who don’t see how Christianity can be compatible with science. And it’s a bit adorable that these very Holy people don’t know Breaking Bad made Heisenberg infamous 🤗
Thankyou for this. Dr Bergsma is a firm favourite. I have Fr Spitzers book and it's great, but the audio version of it is easier to follow for some weird reason. Dr Bergsma makes quite complicated concepts easy to follow......it's the power of the 'stick man'. Wonderful teacher ❤ Would love to see Dr Bergsma, Jimmy & Matt in a very cool long form discussion on the topics discussed here too one day. Thanks again 👍
I'm not an expert on anything, but somehow I find myself living in the Galilee for a reason. My whole life has been nothing but a miracle, and the reward I have through a beautiful family is a testament of my devotion for Him. Even the tragedy in my life I was able to turn it in a way to put me on his path. I only intuitively know about science, but my awareness of God's presence is such that it cannot be ignored. He promised not just life but life in abundance and that's what I got. Yeshua has ROI, invest in him, but you must be prepared to be baptised by fire as a first cleansing step. Blessings to all who believe without seeing
@@PoppinPsinceAD33 Oh yes, there is another miraculous image with Mary and baby Jesus imprinted all the way through a large stone. I can’t remember what country it’s in but check that out if you haven’t seen it. It’s supernatural in origin like the Thilma of our lady of Guadalupe.
Fell asleep listening to this pod and dreamt about making Pal Metal Ingot (a material used in the game Palworld), which could be changed to “God Material” when finished kindling. The cool thing about changing ‘Pal Metal Ingot’ to ‘God Material’ is that God Material can be used to create ANYTHING… it just took way longer to do. My dream logic brain chose Pal Metal Ingot because I needed spheres now (object in the game needed to catch pals/monsters), having no desire for more than what I needed in the moment. I know it was the pod because when I woke, they were talking subatomic particles. What a fun ride 😂❤ definitely gave this another listen, fully awake lol

Hi, Matt! Could you please interview Trent Horn again soon? Also, was wondering if you saw Trent Horn's video today, "The Emptiness of 'Political Christianity"?

I felt so.. cheated? Lied to? I paid so close attention to the origin of life classes, only for me to find out today that most of what we were taught in school was pseudoscience? Thank you so much, Dr. Bergsma.
The beauty of making statements about the past is that the past never raises its voice to disagree. That so many people blithely reify these ideas boggles the mind.
This is one of my top videos to watch. So fascinating and concise across a range of scientific topics that kept plaguing me on a proper answer to a lot of family and friends that throw science at me with God in question. I found fr john breck Beyond These Horizons, Quantum Theory and Christian Faith A good read too on this subject.
The more we learn about the world through science the more complicated it appears, thus it becomes less and less likely that the ultimate explanation of everything is randomness
You should have on Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, he's a Dominican and biologist who would articulate the theistic evolution position really well. He spoke at Hillsdale when I was a student there
I couldn’t do a dissertation at Notre Dame in 2012 because they had no professors in philosophy. It was to be on a really consequential subject that now science like Dawkins and others are catching up with on “The relational cause that is above and through all other causes.” 12 years later!
1:14:28 to 1:18:25 Matt, if you haven't you should read Brant Pitre's Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told. Thank you Dr. Bergsma, for your knowledge of Scripture to help Matt along.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, did it make a sound?? This conversation has me contemplating this question! Great episode.
Is there a list of all the sources Dr. Bergsma cites? Particularly the book he mentions by Fr. Spitzer. I’m searching for ways to help my 33 year old son, who has sadly left the church and embraced liberalism. He holds these beliefs that are so alien to me and my husband. Thank the LORD and St. Monica, he spends time with us and all our family every Sunday, AFTER we get home from Mass. He is a wonderful husband and father. He has genius level intellect, like my Dad. I wish my Dad were here to gently debate the existence of God with him, but for now I pray and look for videos/books that might help him find the Truth if he ever agrees to watch/read them.
Please pray for Dr Bergsma's son. He was recently hospitalized and is very ill.
Prayed! Thank you for asking!
Lord please bless & protect the Bergsma family, and heal his precious son. Amen 🙏
St. Padre Pio, please intercede for Dr. Bergsma's son!
Amen 🙏
Dr. Bergsma's is helping to strengthen our faith. May God the Almighty help his son to recover.

as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
I felt so.. cheated? Lied to? I paid so close attention to the origin of life classes, only for me to find out today that most of what we were taught in school was pseudoscience? Thank you so much, Dr. Bergsma.
The beauty of making statements about the past is that the past never raises its voice to disagree.
That so many people blithely reify these ideas boggles the mind.
My favorite guest
He went to Ken Ham’s ark. fantastic interview, but his comments are the most telling. Very smart and thoughtful.
I also have Darwin’s Doubt.
Thanks so much! This was great.
"Common sense interpretation of the facts"..... pray for those who won't even hear the facts.
The Constitution was written for a reason 🤘🏽
This is one of my top videos to watch. So fascinating and concise across a range of scientific topics that kept plaguing me on a proper answer to a lot of family and friends that throw science at me with God in question. I found fr john breck
Beyond These Horizons, Quantum Theory and Christian Faith
A good read too on this subject.
my favorite guest!
The more we learn about the world through science the more complicated it appears, thus it becomes less and less likely that the ultimate explanation of everything is randomness
Only 1 hour in, best show so far. 👍
You should have on Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, he's a Dominican and biologist who would articulate the theistic evolution position really well. He spoke at Hillsdale when I was a student there
Specially unto all HE FED increased in front of HIS EYES. Yet...none came. Chose amnesia. My "AM" thank you for knowing my HEART AND MIND!
This was absolutely incredible.
Brilliant conversation. Thanks.
Engineer here, doing/discussing some of these topics in Physics class.
I couldn’t do a dissertation at Notre Dame in 2012 because they had no professors in philosophy. It was to be on a really consequential subject that now science like Dawkins and others are catching up with on “The relational cause that is above and through all other causes.” 12 years later!
That quote from Robert Jastrow is phenomenal.
Dr. Bergsma for president!
Remember, I am who I say I am if I wasn’t and I was lying when my God would know I’d be dying❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:14:28 to 1:18:25
Matt, if you haven't you should read Brant Pitre's Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.
Thank you Dr. Bergsma, for your knowledge of Scripture to help Matt along.
Please tell me it's fifteen hours long.

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, did it make a sound?? This conversation has me contemplating this question! Great episode.
Absolutely amazing interview!!!
Is there a list of all the sources Dr. Bergsma cites? Particularly the book he mentions by Fr. Spitzer. I’m searching for ways to help my 33 year old son, who has sadly left the church and embraced liberalism. He holds these beliefs that are so alien to me and my husband. Thank the LORD and St. Monica, he spends time with us and all our family every Sunday, AFTER we get home from Mass. He is a wonderful husband and father. He has genius level intellect, like my Dad. I wish my Dad were here to gently debate the existence of God with him, but for now I pray and look for videos/books that might help him find the Truth if he ever agrees to watch/read them.
Woot!! An amazing guest!
This interview was far more rewarding than I had anticipated. Thanks, Matt!
this is one of the best episodes
This Episode was great
My brain is exploding listening to this!!😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
Lots of love
❤❤❤❤❤
Proud to see a fellow TMIY brother!
Dr Bergsma has such a great memory!
Amazing discussion ❤
To bring forth clarity, coherence, adequacy, evidence, and witnesses!
YEAH BERGSMA
We exist because of God! Simple and easy enough!
But God’s timing is not ours.
Thanks Dr. B for your knowledge and understanding evolutionary theory
Great conversation 🙏✝️🙏
If there was one book to read, other than the obvious one. What book would that be?
