In this episode, Dr. Stephen Meyer is back to set the record straight and unpack the bigger argument his critics keep missing. This is the first part of a response to Sir Roger Penrose who recently pushed back on a previous conversation with me on the show. Stephen calls it a "pick your poison" argument and once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's a dilemma at the heart of modern cosmology that philosophical naturalism has not been able to escape. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (<a href="https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf)">https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf)</a> *USE Discount Code [smdcertdisc] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (<a href="https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM)">https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM)</a> *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (<a href="https://bit.ly/448STKK)">https://bit.ly/448STKK)</a> FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/Sean_McDowell">https://x.com/Sean_McDowell</a> TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en">https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en</a> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/">https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/</a> Website: <a href="https://seanmcdowell.org">https://seanmcdowell.org</a> Discover more Christian podcasts at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/">lifeaudio.com</a> and inquire about advertising opportunities at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/contact-us">lifeaudio.com/contact-us</a>.
