Does modern science point to God? In this powerful episode of A Reason for Hope, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with renowned Catholic priest, philosopher, and physicist Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ. He explains why today’s discoveries in physics and cosmology strongly support the existence of a Creator.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Fr. Spitzer shows why multiverse theories fail to explain the extraordinary fine-tuning of the universe. From the precise constants of physics and chemistry to the mathematical improbability of a life-permitting cosmos, the evidence points beyond chance and material causes. As Fr. Spitzer explains, the data increasingly suggests the work of a “super-calculating intellect” behind the universe itself.

This episode also explores why a growing number of physicists, scientists, and medical doctors now believe in God—and why younger scientists are embracing faith at even higher rates. Using insights from leading figures such as Stephen Hawking, Thomas Hertog, and NASA scientist Robert Jastrow, Fr. Spitzer demonstrates how science and Catholic faith are not in conflict, but deeply complementary.

Whether you are seeking answers about the origin of the universe, the relationship between science and religion, or solid Catholic apologetics for God’s existence, this conversation offers clarity, depth, and hope.

👉 Topics include:

Fine-tuning of the universe
Why the multiverse cannot explain creation
Scientific evidence for God
Faith and reason in Catholic teaching
Why science points beyond itself

This episode is ideal for Catholics, students, skeptics, and anyone searching for rational evidence that God created the universe.
