Series: DOES GOD EXIST? Episode 7: Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, “Why is there anything at all?” It’s a question that has puzzled philosophers and scientists for centuries. On this episode of Rooted and Reasoned, we’re diving deep into the philosophical idea called the contingency argument, a theory that suggests the universe must have a cause and that cause is God. We’ll explore the ideas of philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, who argued that everything that exists must have an explanation for its existence. We’ll break down his argument… Continue Reading

This episode explores the mind-blowing connection between math and the universe, diving deep into the idea that math might be more than just numbers, but a secret language that unlocks the mysteries of creation. We’ll take you on a journey from ancient Greece to modern-day physics, exploring how math has been used to predict everything from the movement of planets to the existence of tiny particles… Continue Reading

Series: DOES GOD EXIST? Episode 5: Is the Universe a Giant Coincidence… Or Did Someone Design It for Us? Ever get the feeling that everything in the universe just works? Like, it’s perfectly set up for us to exist? Well, get this – science is actually starting to show that’s true! 🤯 It’s called “fine-tuning”, and it’s basically the idea that if you changed even the tiniest things about the universe, like the force of gravity or how fast it’s expanding, everything would fall apart. No stars, no planets, no us. Game over! So how did the universe get so… Continue Reading

We also take a cosmic road trip with Saturn and… Continue Reading

Series: DOES GOD EXIST? Episode 3: Did the Universe Have a Beginning? Have you ever looked up at the stars and wondered how it all began? For centuries, people believed the universe was eternal, but groundbreaking scientific discoveries like the second law of thermodynamics, the expansion of the universe, and red shift suggest otherwise. These findings coupled with the Kalam cosmological argument, which states that everything that begins to exist has a cause, suggest that the universe had a beginning and must have a cause. Could that cause be God? This episode delves into fascinating territory where science and faith… Continue Reading

Series: DOES GOD EXIST? Episode 2: Who Made God? (And Does It Even Matter?) Have you ever thought about where everything came from? Like, everything everything? What about God? Who made them?

The idea of God as understood in many religions is that God is eternal with no beginning and no end. Pretty hard to wrap our human brains around, right? Instead of focusing on who made God, maybe we should be thinking… Continue Reading

Hold onto your hats, because this episode is about to take you on a wild ride through science, faith, and the ultimate question: does God exist? We’re diving deep into the Big Bang theory, the mind-blowing idea that the universe began from a single point billions of years ago. We’ll break down the scientific evidence that supports this theory, like the expanding universe and the radiation afterglow. But here’s where things get really interesting. We’ll explore how the Big Bang might actually point towards a creator. We’ll… Continue Reading
