Did the Universe REALLY Have a Beginning? Unpacking the “Battle for the Big Bang” with Dr. Stephen C. Meyer

Big Bang, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, conformal cyclic cosmology, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, origin of the universe, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Roger Penrose, Stephen Meyer, theology

Does science REALLY point to a beginning of the universe? If it does, why are some world-renowned physicists still searching for a loophole? On a mission to bypass the need for a Creator, alternative cosmological theories continue to emerge, but are they solving the mysteries of the universe or creating even bigger problems? Fresh off the release of his remarkable film, ‘The Story of Everything‘, Dr. Stephen C. Meyer returns to discuss Sir Roger Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) and answer questions like: What scientific evidence suggests that the universe had a beginning? What is the Steady State Theory and why is it no longer accepted? Who is Sir Roger Penrose and why are his latest cosmological ideas generating so much debate? Does Penrose’s theory eliminate or confirm the need…

The Horrors of Euthanasia and the Problem of Suffering

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, bioethics, Christian Worldview, Christianity, euthanasia, Gospel, meaning of life, meaninglessness, problem of suffering, Secularism, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Thomas Moller, www.FreeThinkingministries

As I’m writing this blog, on March 26, 2016, a young woman by the name of Noelia Castillo Ramos is being euthanized in Spain.[i] Unfortunately, this is nothing new in our Western society. Medically assisted suicide has been legal in Canada for almost 10 years.[ii] Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States—yes, even the USA in some states—have legalized medically assisted suicide to some degree.[iii] You may wonder, as I did, what circumstances allow for assistance in suicide? In the United States, the law states that only mentally competent and terminally ill patients, whose illness will kill them within six months, allows for assisted suicide. It is fairly similar in Australia and New Zealand. Despite how extreme…

From Extreme Depression to Street Preacher: How God Saved His Life with Bryce Crawford

How does a suicidal 17-year-old battling anxiety, depression, and doubts about God’s existence, become the founder of his own ministry and one of today’s most influential young evangelists five years later? Since 2024, Bryce Crawford has already reached 2 billion people through digital media and is filling venues around the country at just 22-years old. But Bryce isn’t interested in building a platform for himself. Instead, he’s using his influence to reach a generation searching for truth, purpose, and hope in Christ—even when it means stepping into environments where rejection, ridicule, and hostility are almost guaranteed. Together, Frank and Bryce answer questions like: What life-changing moment happened when Bryce was in eighth grade and sent him into a deep spiral of depression? What was the desperate prayer that completely changed…
