  1. He has an amazing ability to explain even the most complex scientific theories in a way most people can understand! And I love how he speaks! His students are very fortunate!

  2. This was great and understanable even for a layman like myself! Scientific inquiry is essential. But talking about other universes? Consider: Our own Milky Way Galaxy is 150,000-200,000 light years across with an estimated 100-400 Billion stars!!!!! So, if you could travel at the speed of light - 186,000 miles A SECOND - it would take at least 150,000 years just to cross the Milky Way!!! Physicists/scientists use mathematical equations to try to understand the origins of the universe and use - what to advanced civilizations - must seem primitive radio telescopes. According to the Hubble Deep Field, there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of galaxies in the universe - and they all came from a single event - the Big Bang. And it's still expanding? From Wiki: Georges Lemaître first noted in 1927 that an expanding universe could be traced back in time to an originating single point, which he called the "primeval atom." And were is Heaven in this equation?

  3. This scientific argument is just that, a scientific argument. It may work on the blackboard with numbers but as a practical application right here on good 'ol Earth, I'm not sure. If you believe in God and an afterlife, yes, granny may still be out there - somewhere. We call it a soul, right? But as for her being alive, I guarantee you she is not breathing in that casket buried under six feet of earth.
