Episode notes
Converging Scientific Evidence For A Creator
- Michel-Yves Bolloré argues scientific evidence across fields converges toward a creator rather than absolute proof.
- He treats belief as a jury-like conviction built from multiple independent evidences rather than a mathematical certainty.
Weigh Evidence Like A Jury
- Bolloré urges honest, jury-like assessment of evidence and cautions against allowing passion or fear of judgment to block truth-seeking.
- He recommends weighing convergent, independent evidences before forming belief.
Origin-of-Life Complexity Raises the Bar
- Discoveries of DNA, RNA and ribosomes raised the bar on difficulty for spontaneous origin-of-life accounts.
- Bolloré sees this increased complexity as strengthening the case for a very specific, currently unknown set of laws enabling life.
