1
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,320
Have you ever wondered how everything began?

2
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:49,050
What's the origin of this universe?

3
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:52,440
What's the origin of life on planet Earth?

4
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,090
what about how everything seems just right

5
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,480
for supporting life

6
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,200
Scientists have certainly pondered of these questions

7
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,100
And in some cases they are making strides,

8
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:08,780
counterfactual analysis

9
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:12,000
Led some physicists to question,

10
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,960
what if things were different

11
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,550
What if we were able to make some alterations

12
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,100
to one of the fundamental parameters,what if we were given the opportunity

13
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,100
to tweak some of those values?

14
00:01:27,378 --> 00:01:30,770
What if the electric charge of the electron

15
00:01:30,970 --> 00:01:32,350
Was a little bit different?

16
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,550
What if the mass of the proton was a little bit different?

17
00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:41,270
What if some of life's complex biomolecules had a different structure

18
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:43,060
and developed in a different way?

19
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:46,410
What scientists found was so baffling

20
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:50,600
and that is the stunning level of fact-tuning

21
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,040
in so many aspects of this universe

22
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,140
that it preclude any possibility

23
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,143
that all if this arose by a chance event

24
00:02:03,616 --> 00:02:07,370
in fact,the instances of the fine-tuning

25
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,860
and these so-called coincidences

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,140
were so numerous that some scientists became comfortable

27
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:17,610
in espousing the view rather and tropically

28
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:24,400
that everything happened in order for life to emerge on planet Earth

29
00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:27,260
but even those who did not accept purposeful design

30
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:32,610
had to concede that the level of fine-tuning was too staggering

31
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,400
that all of this could have been the result of mere contingency

32
00:03:24,500 --> 00:02:26,650
For many physicists and cosmologists

33
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,700
it seems they thought,even speaking about God

34
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,000
was a cop-out

35
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,050
it was an easy way out

36
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:39,520
so they don't have to perform deeper scientific investigation

37
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:43,520
and all the arduous calculations that that entails

38
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:46,030
But it's that really the case?

39
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:53,350
an alternative explanation would be that God Almighty wanted us to search

40
00:03:53,356 --> 00:03:55,350
wanted us to look for the truth

41
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,390
wanted us to investigate

42
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,920
and to try to uncover the marvels of cosmos

43
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,060
and for that,many scientists have been looking backwards

44
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:13,340
<b>traversing billions of light-years in space time</b>

45
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,350
to try to describe what happened at that first moment

46
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,830
at that first instant in the most miniscule of a second

47
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,050
how do you begin?

48
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:31,520
When space-time isn't even defined?

49
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,420
this is the question;

50
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,670
for many,the suitable response was

51
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,760
a singularity and point of infinite space-time curvature

52
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,700
but that absolute point also brought about with it some problems

53
00:04:50,808 --> 00:04:52,310
and problematic questions.

54
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,120
With the help of quantum theory

55
00:04:56,150 --> 00:05:00,960
some decided to fuzzy out than absolute singularity

56
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:05,600
and make it more like a boundary so that we have to avoid

57
00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:10,070
the embarrassing question of,well,what happened before that?

58
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,120
if it was such an absolute point in time?

59
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,200
but that itself also engendered another difficult question

60
00:05:21,650 --> 00:05:27,150
and that is,if that is an acceptable explanation

61
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,490
for how we transition from nothing to something

62
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240
then it begs the question,why didn't that happen again?

63
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,570
why it doesn’t repeat itself,

64
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,000
why it doesn’t happen frequently ?

65
00:05:46,101 --> 00:05:48,510
why did it happen only once?

66
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:55,500
Or Was there something written on that first instance?

67
00:05:55,871 --> 00:05:59,770
that this mechanism of transition from nothing to something

68
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,210
 can only happen once

69
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:10,000
for that reason,many people realize that there must be an agent

70
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,840
and that's what we call God

71
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,620
But all this fine-tuning is not restricted to the realm of physics

72
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:35,500
it extends also into biology,chemistry,geology and the like

73
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:38,340
take the example of the simple cell 

74
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:43,000
and intricately complex miniature factory

75
00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:48,000
with pumps and motors,turbines and propellers

76
00:07:48,650 --> 00:07:53,810
and other similar machinery that you find in modern plants and workshops

77
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:59,000
and you have sophisticated intercellular chemical communication as well

78
00:08:00,170 --> 00:08:04,506
take so many biomolecules the genetic code,the DNA,

79
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,140
the integrated protein complexes,all of this could have no arisen through non-random mutations

80
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,880
and natural selection in fact,it has been shown 

81
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,290
that the probability is so much minut 

82
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,500
that evolutionary random mutations,the natural selection could spawn

83
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:28,170
the elaborated complex biological organisms that we see today

84
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,210
that even billions of years couldn’t turn that probability into areality

85
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,816
But going back to the issue of fine-tuning 

86
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:53,600
we should know that is not only restricted to laws and unique properties

87
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,970
it also extends to critical conditions and events

88
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:03,680
and those are very numerous,maybe we'll take the example of our location

89
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,870
the location of planet Earth which made life possible

90
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:13,170
take our location in the solar system,the fact that we are just in the right place in the habitable zone

91
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:16,230
You may say,well,we discovering exoplanets

92
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:19,500
in other solar systems that are also in the habitable zones

93
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,740
well,do they support life?

94
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,660
And there is when we come to the issue of Earth's atmosphere

95
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,830
so many other planets are devoid of an atmosphere

96
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:33,090
or don’t have the appropriate atmosphere that would support life

97
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:38,930
Furthermore,our location even in the Galaxy itself,that is very unique

98
00:09:38,933 --> 00:09:43,530
and this is why astrophysicists commented on the unique location of Earth

99
00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:47,350
 in the Galaxy itself not being too closed to the center

100
00:09:47,366 --> 00:09:49,060
nor at the perimeter,

101
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:53,240
and this also is critical for the emergence of life

102
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,290
In all honesty,each one of the instances of fine-tuning

103
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
and critical conditions and events that we mentioned

104
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,370
each one of those is enough to make the argument

105
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,130
but then when you take of all them together

106
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:17,060
and how it converges to make life possible

107
00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:20,320
then,that eliminates any shred doubt 

108
00:10:20,850 --> 00:10:23,730
that it purposeful designed

109
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,300
and that the goal was,for intelligent life to emerge

110
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,770
let's look at another example,

111
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:04,070
but this time that of the weak nuclear force

112
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:10,850
this time,not in relation to the production of carbon but rather its dissemination

113
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,910
which also happens in stars.

114
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:20,430
When the nuclear fuel inside the core of the star runs out,

115
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:25,920
the star implodes under the immense weight of the star

116
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,240
this implosion process produces an enormous amount of neutrinos

117
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,980
which interact with the matter around it,and this interaction is predicated on the weak

118
00:11:38,981 --> 00:11:40,350
nuclear force.

119
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,210
Those neutrinos will rebound after the implosion

120
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:48,910
and it is this rebound mechanism 

121
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:52,310
that we call the supernova

122
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:55,620
the gigantic explosions that happens in the stars

123
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960
if the weak nuclear force were any weaker,

124
00:12:00,964 --> 00:12:05,470
the neutrinos would lack the energy to initiate that explosion

125
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,839
and if the weak nuclear force were stronger,

126
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:14,680
the neutrinos would then more actively interact with the matter around it

127
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,740
in both cases preventing the explosion,

128
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,620
and thus the dissemination of the carbon

129
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,290
so,even though we were able to produce the carbon in the first place

130
00:12:24,350 --> 00:12:29,900
if it wasn’t for the weak nuclear force being it precisely value it is

131
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,470
the carbon would not have been disseminated and the consequence,again the same

132
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:36,930
,there will be no life!!

133
00:12:58,500 --> 00:12:59,600
So,there you have it,

134
00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:05,120
scientists embarked on a breathtaking journey of scientific discovery

135
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:10,680
many with the unstated intend to disprove the existence of God

136
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:14,440
instead,it seems they found the opposite

137
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,710
,the exquisite proof of the existence of God

138
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,130
Another case of serendipity?,

139
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,000
No!!Design
