Robin Collins explains why fine-tuning is necessary for life

Leave a comment

A short video from Lee Strobel’s DVD “The Case for a Creator”.

Actually, that WHOLE DVD is available on YouTube if you want to watch it. Here’s the playlist. There is a lot more about the fine-tuning argument in that DVD.

Fine-tuning of the gravitational force

I actually wrote about the fine-tuning of the force of gravity, which is mentioned in the clip. I link to an article from the New Scientist in the post to show that the fine-tuning argument is quite mainstream.

You can read more about the fine-tuning of the gravitational force from Robin Collins, who is the best we have on the topic. Collins started a Ph.D in Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, but ended up completing a Ph.D in philosophy at Notre Dame, under Alvin Plantinga, the greatest living philosopher today, in my opinion. I heard Collins speak at the Baylor ID conference in 2000.

Other DVDs on design arguments

Actually, I prefer the Unlocking the Mystery of Life and The Privileged Planet DVDs, instead, especially for people who want more detail.

Democrat Congressman says that country’s debt is a “myth”

8 Comments

Wow. Watch this video of Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL).

Transcript:

And we will see a terrible price that we will pay years down the road for letting our children down when they need us the absolute most.  I’m not going to be part of that, so every minute that I have here is going to be spent debunking the myth that this country’s in debt and we just can’t spend.

He says that we have to keep spending… for the children?

Um. The annual budget deficit under Obama is about 1.5 trillion. The national debt has increased 3 trillion so far under Obama to 13.3 trillion. Our total GDP as a nation is only 14.5 trillion. By next year, our national debt will be higher than our GDP. The children are inheriting a lower quality of life than we have today. They’ll have to pay for our spending today.

Oh, here is his previous video:

In which he says that he doesn’t care that whether health care mandates are unConstitutional.
