For five hundred years, scientists as credible as Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Freud chipped away at the scientific existence of God. So, by the beginning of the 20th century, Nietzsche was able to announce the death of God. A century later, however, modern science is now resurrecting God. That, at least, is the suggestion of Michel-Yves Bollore, the co-author of Europe's latest publishing sensation, GOD The Science The Evidence. It's a post Einsteinian science, Bollore and his co-author Olivier Bonnassies contend, which has enabled this kind of scientific Easter. With endorsements from Nobel Prize winners and over 400,000 copies sold across Europe, their controversial thesis argues that seven independent lines of evidence—from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics—point toward an absolute beginning of the universe, making materialism, in their words, 'an irrational belief' in the 21st century.1. The Historical Reversal For 400+ years (Galileo to Darwin to Freud), scientific discoveries seemed to eliminate the need for God. But since 1900, Bollore argues, every major discovery points in the opposite direction—toward the necessity of a creator.2. Seven Lines of Evidence for Absolute Beginning The authors present seven independent scientific arguments (thermodynamics, universe expansion, quantum mechanics, mathematics) that the universe had an absolute beginning—which they argue requires a creator, since "from nothing, nothing can come."3. The Multiverse Dilemma Materialism's only escape is the multiverse theory, but recent discoveries (2003) show infinite series of universes are impossible. This forces materialists into increasingly complex explanations while the "God hypothesis" remains simpler.4. Fine-Tuning as Evidence The universe's parameters are so precisely calibrated (down to the 15th decimal place for expansion speed) that tiny changes would prevent existence itself—suggesting intentional design rather than chance.5. Philosophical Not Religious The book deliberately avoids religious questions (who is God, what does God want) and focuses purely on whether scientific evidence supports the existence of a creator—making it accessible across different faiths and culturesKeen On America is a reader-supported publication.

How does philosophy inform modern physics? And how do physicists incorporate philosophy into their research? On this episode, we dive into those questions with philosopher Dr. Timothy McGrew and astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes in order to help you fine tune your thinking about the fine tuning of the universe. Critics of the fine-tuning argument will often invoke probabilities in order to get around the argument's deeper implication of the existence of God. Tim and Luke will explore some of the issues in probability theory as it informs the physics of the fine-tuning argument. Dr. Timothy McGrew https://timothymcgrew.com/ Timothy McGrew is Professor of Philosophy at Western Michigan University, where he has taught for the past 25 years. His research interests include formal epistemology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history and philosophy of religion. When he is not doing philosophy, he enjoys playing chess online, coaching at his local chess club, running trails, and making high quality paper airplanes. He lives in SW Michigan with his wife, Lydia McGrew, and their daughters. Dr. Luke Barnes. https://letterstonature.wordpress.com/luke/ Dr Luke A. Barnes is a Senior Lecturer in Physics at Western Sydney University. With a PhD in astronomy from the University of Cambridge, he has published papers in the field of galaxy formation and on the fine-tuning of the Universe for life. He is the coauthor with Prof. Geraint Lewis of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely-Tuned Cosmos and The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook: (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang), published by Cambridge University Press.

Episode 2.26Is the universe the result of design—or just a lucky accident?In this final installment of our three-part series, we break down the formal Fine-Tuning Argument as presented by William Lane Craig and others. We walk through the logic: the constants of physics must be the result of necessity, chance, or design—and only one of those explanations holds up.We explore:-Why physical necessity doesn't explain arbitrary constants-Why chance collapses under astronomical improbabilities-Why design remains the most rational explanation for the universe's precision-We also respond to the biggest counterclaims:--

God's creation shows us His invisible attributes. He uses His creation to lead us to Christ, through whom and for whom the entirety of the heavens and earth were made (Colossians 1). Daniel Ray recently met a former atheist who became a Christian and who has recently completed the final edits on a remarkable docudrama film about the cosmos and how it all points us to Jesus. The film is called Universe Designed and it is the passion project of our guest on Apologetics for the next two weeks, filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis. Universe Designed rivals anything produced by National Geographic or the Discovery Channel, without the naturalism of course, and is entirely Christ-centered. It is due to be released sometime toward the end of this year. Here on part one, Michael shares with us his story about how God began a good work in his life.For more information about the film Universe Designed, visit the official website at https://www.UniverseDesigned.comResources from Watchman Fellowship: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Scientism by Dr. Luke Barnes and Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Scientism Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Carl Sagan's Cosmos by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/CosmosTV Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Naturalism by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Naturalism Book: The Story of the Cosmos by Daniel Ray:www.watchman.org/CosmosBook FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

Part 1 Metamagical Themas by Douglas R. Hofstadter Summary"Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern" is a collection of essays by Douglas R. Hofstadter, published in 1985. The book explores a variety of themes related to consciousness, creativity, and the nature of patterns found in human thought and culture. Here are some key aspects of the book's content:Patterns and Symmetries: Hofstadter delves into the concept of patterns, emphasizing how they manifest not only in mathematics and art but also in human cognition and language. He introduces the idea that many intellectual phenomena can be seen as instances of underlying patterns that recur across different domains.Self-Reference and Strange Loops: A significant portion of the book discusses self-reference as a cognitive phenomenon. Hofstadter introduces the notion of "strange loops," which are recursive structures that can create a sense of self-awareness and consciousness, exemplified in his earlier work, "Gödel, Escher, Bach."Fine-Tuning of Human Thought: The essays investigate how human minds create, recognize, and manipulate patterns. Hofstadter discusses the cognitive processes involved in understanding abstract concepts, highlighting the role of analogies and metaphors in shaping thought.The Nature of Consciousness: Hofstadter engages with questions about what consciousness is, how it arises, and its implications for understanding the mind. He champions the idea that consciousness is an emergent property of the complex interplay of simpler cognitive processes.Interconnectedness of Disciplines: The book celebrates the interconnectedness of various fields, linking mathematics, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. Hofstadter uses examples from these disciplines to illustrate his theories about mind and pattern.Exploration of Creative Thinking: Hofstadter discusses creativity as a form of pattern recognition and generation, illustrating how new ideas arise from the manipulation of existing structures. He emphasizes the importance of playfulness and exploration in the creative process.Cultural Reflections: A recurring theme is the relationship between culture and cognition. Hofstadter examines how cultural artifacts and shared knowledge influence individual thought processes.Overall, "Metamagical Themas" serves as a philosophical inquiry into the nature of thought and the underlying structures that shape our understanding of reality. Through a diverse range of topics, Hofstadter invites readers to reflect on the complexity and beauty of human cognition.Part 2 Metamagical Themas AuthorDouglas R. Hofstadter is an American cognitive scientist best known for his works in the fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and philosophy of mind. He was born on February 15, 1945, and is perhaps most famous for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (1979), which explores deep connections between the works of mathematician Kurt Gödel, artist M.C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Metamagical ThemasMetamagical Themas: A Quantum Look at Funny Paper was published in 1985. The book is a collection of Hofstadter's essays that delve into various themes including mathematics, cognitive science, and philosophical issues. It is noted for its engaging writing style and explores complex topics in an accessible way, often combined with humor and playfulness. Other Notable WorksHofstadter has authored and edited several influential books, including:Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (1979) His most famous work, exploring patterns and connections across different fields.Metamagical Themas: A Quantum Look at Funny Paper (1985) A collection of essays reflecting on diverse topics.The Mind's I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self and Soul (1981, co-edited) An anthology
I'm back with the luminous Cru von Holtzendorff-Fehling, a gifted soul reader, healer, and one of the most tuned-in beings I know. Cru has an extraordinary ability to read the energy systems and soul blueprints of others, and her deep understanding of the human energy field is matched only by the warmth and humility she brings to her work.In this intimate and vulnerable conversation, we explore the transformative power of 5-MeO-DMT–also known as bufo, how our energetic anatomy works, and how trauma, conditioning, and egoic patterns disrupt it; plus, shadow work, integrating darkness, and how accepting every part of ourselves is the path to wholeness.If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by sensitivity, or curious about the deeper layers of energetic healing, this episode is a masterclass in becoming who you really are.

Show NotesWe looked at Design Arguments in our Episodes 82 & 85 but avoided diving deep into Fine Tuning, waiting for our discussion with Phil. It was worth it! We covered questions such as what are the actual physical observations which we call Fine Tuning? What are the main explanations for the observations that cosmologists/physicists generally think most likely and how popular are they among the scientist? Phil's survey results on that are fascinating.Apologies for some technical difficulties with the podcast, Andrew was ill at the last minute, (he's now recovering).

This week on the Farm Companion, we're locking in the plan for our next trip back to Illinois—fine-tuning every inch of the farm as spring gives way to summer. It's all about putting in the work now that pays off when it counts. We're getting switchgrass in the ground, planting beans, and spraying to stay ahead of the curve before it's time to drop brassicas this fall. Every move we make is with the hunt in mind—thinking ahead, setting the table, and building a farm that hunts better every year. This is the grind that separates a decent sit from a season you remember. Thanks for riding along on this week's Farm Companion. Fall starts now—sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL HERE:https://www.youtube.com/c/HUNTRTUBEBuy some merch on our website:https://wearehuntr.com/HUNTR Podcast is presented by:Hoyt Archery: https://hoyt.com (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 20% OFF APPAREL)DeerGro: https://www.deergro.com (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 15% OFF)Beast Broadheads: https://beastbroadheads.com/(USE CODE HUNTR FOR 10% OFF)RackHub: https://www.rack-hub.com/huntr (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 10% OFF)Pure Wildlife Blends: https://www.purewildlifeblends.com (USE CODE HUNTR10 FOR 10% OFF)Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/(USE CODE HUNTR FOR 7% OFF)Better Backstrap: https://betterbackstrap.com/(USE CODE HUNTR15 FOR 15% OFF)Spartan Forge: https://spartanforge.ai/(USE CODE HUNTR20 FOR 20% OFF)

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast I'm with Rich Chrzan of Killer Food Plots for part 2 of our talk, getting further into some details of how to properly setup food plots for optimum success, and some bigger picture ideas with how they should fit in your whole hunting strategy on your land. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What are Rich's thoughts on planting 1 food plot for the entire year that is a broad mix vs. planting both spring and fall plots that are very different?• How do you know the best timing for putting in plots based on your area so you don't miss the optimal growing window?• What big picture strategies should you think about when putting in plots - related to your entire land and hunting strategy?.• What are our thoughts about morning vs. evening hunts in relation food plots?• What is the difference between destination and kill plots according to Rich, and where should these be put on your property so they work for, not against you?• What is a potential solution to EHD - one that I had never heard of and that could be a literal life-saver for your deer herd?

Philosopher Phillip Goff explores the nature of consciousness, reality, and the complexities of the human experience. He dives deep into pan-psychism and its surprising intersection with mystic religions. Drawing from his decades of research, he speaks on our finely-tuned universe, meaning/ purpose of life, quantum mechanics, and the Many World's Theory. The discussion culminates in a call to move beyond polarization and dogma in the pursuit of truth.Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyself.one/books___________0:00 Intro2:07 Where the Great Thinkers of the Past Went Wrong5:53 Does the Brain Produce Consciousness?9:50 The Problem with the Verification Principle12:20 Do Our Senses Mislead Us?15:26 Panpsychism & The Hard Problem of Consciousness22:56 Complexity of Human Consciousness 26:26 Can Mathematics Ever Explain Consciousness? 30:47 How the Brain Correlates to Conscious Experience 34:46 Why It's So Hard to Solve This (Science is Asking the Wrong Questions) 38:33 Purpose & Meaning of Life40:26 Sentience in Objects, Plants, and Animals43:09 Where Panpsychism Meets Spirituality 46:38 An Ethical Structure to Reality49:42 Examples of How The Universe is Finely Tuned56:08 Making Sense of Life's Mystery 58:38 Teleological Laws of Nature1:02:13 Facing the Uncertainty of Reality 1:06:05 Examining Truth & Religion1:13:27 Addressing His Beliefs Around Christianity 1:25:13 The Mystical Side of Religions 1:32:53 Many World's Theory & Multiverses1:44:19 Going Beyond Quantum Physics1:50:25 Beyond Polarization & Dogma, Seeking Truth1:56:28 Conclusion ___________Episode Resources: https://philipgoffphilosophy.comhttps://amzn.eu/d/0O1FI6Ohttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyself.oneListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX

"The Cosmological argument is a family of arguments that seek to demonstrate the existence of a Sufficient Reason or First Cause of the existence of the cosmos... The kalam cosmological argument traces its roots to the efforts of early Christian theologians who, out of their commitment to the biblical teaching of creation ex nihilo, sought to rebut the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of the universe." The argument is extremely simple: 1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause. This is part 2 of our apologetics study as we work through "The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology." James Sinclair, co-author of the chapter on the kalam cosmological argument with William Lane Craig, joins the show to discuss the scientific evidence in support of premise 2. We look at the FRW mode, astronomical evidence for the Big Bang, the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems, the BVG theorem, quantum gravity approaches, and the exceptions to each of these approaches. Come join the conversation and bring your questions! James D. Sinclair (MS Physics Texas A&M, BS Physics Carnegie-Mellon) is a senior anti-air warfare analyst for the United States Navy with a specialty in the constructive (digital only) modeling of air-to-air combat. Some career accomplishments include analytical support for the fielding of the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, combat utility evaluation of the F-35 Lighting II, and presentations at public symposia such as the Military Operations Research Society (MORS) and the Combat Identification Systems Conference (CISC). He began to interview cosmologists in the early 2000s on the topic of the beginnings of the universe, bringing Navy knowledge integration methods to the formulation known as the Kalam Cosmological Argument. This ultimately led to a collaboration with philosopher William Lane Craig and two co-authored articles: “The Kalam Cosmological Argument,” in The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology and “On Non-Singular Spacetimes and the Beginning of the Universe,” in Scientific Approaches to the Philosophy of Religion. He also co-authored the article "Fine-Tuning and Indications of Transcendent Intelligence" with Robert Spitzer.
We'll keep this brief because we're on a tight turnaround: GPT 4.1, previously known as the Quasar and Optimus models, is now live as the natural update for 4o/4o-mini (and the research preview of GPT 4.5). Though it is a general purpose model family, the headline features are: Coding abilities (o1-level SWEBench and SWELancer, but ok Aider) Instruction Following (with a very notable prompting guide) Long Context up to 1m tokens (with new MRCR and Graphwalk benchmarks) Vision (simply o1 level) Cheaper Pricing (cheaper than 4o, greatly improved prompt caching savings) We caught up with returning guest Michelle Pokrass and Josh McGrath to get more detail on each!

Finetuning is only for style. We've all heard these claims. But the truth is we feel this way because all we've been doing is extended pretraining. I'm excited to chat about what real finetuning looks like - modifying output heads, loss functions and model layers, and it's implications on quality and latency. Happy to dive deeper into how DeepSeek leveraged this real version of finetuning through GRPO and how this is nothing more than a rediscovery of our old finetuning ways. I'm sure we'll naturally also dive into when developing and deploying your specialized models makes sense and the challenges you face when doing so.// BioTanmay is a machine learning engineer at Neeva, where he's currently engaged in reimagining the search experience through AI - wrangling with LLMs and building cold-start recommendation systems.

Does the scientific evidence fall short of proving the fine-tuning of the universe? Should Christians regularly "feel God's presence"? And since there are minor differences in the Gospels, does that disprove biblical inerrancy? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank tackles three more BIG questions from our listening audience along with question like:What are the 3 levels of fine-tuning and does it only occur here on planet Earth?Can the fine-tuning argument alone actually prove Christianity is true? And can all truth be explained through science?Where exactly are Heaven and Hell?What's the true meaning of Christmas?Is loving God an emotion, a feeling, or a decision?If God chooses not to reveal Himself to us is that proof that He doesn't exist?What's a great question to ask your skeptic friends?Have a question you'd like Frank to address in a future episode?
