Ep 320: Dialogue | Deep Discussions | Jared | What Are The Odds?

Recorded: 6 March 2019 Uploaded: 9 March 2019 Released: 9 March 2019 YouTube: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSEFB2 Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSEFB Twitter: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSETW Watch video of this talk here: https://youtu.be/gciybx-QkWM Jared and I discuss his belief in the Christian God. We briefly talk about how the Fine Tuning of nature for life initially gave him confidence that a God exists, but his interaction with God active in his life is what most contributes to his confidence now. The examples he talks about where it is most obvious that God was active in his life is a series of circumstances that were both beneficial and rare. We discuss the relationship between odds, our confidence, and the truth. Music provided by Jim Rhodes, with Dan Harris on lap steel.
