Eric Metaxas talks with Ard Louis, professor of theoretical physics at Oxford University about "science and faith and life,” pushing past the oft-asked questions on these topics.
I would like to say in response to the closing comment about the fish in the tank... the communication between us and God would be our Lord, Jesus. He is the Word.
Very fascinating conversation,enjoyed very much.I would have had very similar questions that Eric posed...but was turned of when Ard stated that the bacterial flagellum formed due to evolution.that being said I find this Evolutionary Christian philosophy very tricky and dangerous.A liberal progressive approach to creation that could be very harmful and confusing to those in their Christian walk.Another pion that Eric made was that all of creation changed after the sin of man not just humanity.Ard disagreed with that and said nohere in the bible does it state that clearly. Genesis 3:17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. Even as far back as 4,500 years ago in Chinese text you have 婪 meaning bad or wrongful desire the two top are the characters for tree the bottom the Chinese character for woman. tree+tree+woman-bad or wrongful desire. Pretty much sums up the tree of knowledge and tree of life and eve.
If he doesn't believe in the Authority of the Bible, 1. Why call yourself a christian ? 2. Why claim to believe in God ? 3. Why undermine God's Authority as written in Scripture by ignoring the advice of Apostles regarding who God is, and who we are as opposed to who we are in Christ Jesus? Love God with your whole being, Love your neighbor as yourself, believe in the resurrection, believe in the coming judgement and believe in Flood!
I had never heard of Ard Louis before, what a fascinating man!

Great interview! I wish Eric would talk less, allowing more expression from the physicist.
Really interesting guy ..would like to hear more from him.
That was great!
Wonderful interview!

Genesis 3:17
Then
to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife,
and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You
shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you
will eat of it All the days of your life.
Even as far back as 4,500 years ago in Chinese text you have 婪 meaning bad or wrongful desire the two top are the characters for tree the bottom the Chinese character for woman. tree+tree+woman-bad or wrongful desire.

Hey. Can these be available as podcasts on stitcher or sound cloud?
What a Brilliant mind! Love him to have a chat with stephen Hawking :D
Isn't it wonderful to listen to such urbane erudite exposition. Even his hands are articulate !!
Great video but Eric should interrupt less.....and talk less...
Agree! I was really getting aggravated by that. Let the man talk!!

He is speaking to a secular community. Think about the alternative! (That is, nobody speaking to this “secular /scientistic” community about God).
Eric please speak a little less and listen a little more.....said with respect Eric but listen.
Listening is crucial, but learning begins with great questions. A difficult balance to be sure.
