Celebrated mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose talks to renowned Christian philosopher William Lane Craig about God and the Universe. They discuss Penrose's '3 realms' view of reality and his Conformal Cyclical Cosmology. Could the fundamental nature of reality, the Big Bang and the fine tuning of the Universe point towards a creator God?

Roger Penrose is impossible to dislike. He's so kind, respectful, and honest.
-
One of the greatest minds of our time: "I haven't the foggiest idea." It's good to be human.
-
People underestimated how well-educated you have to be to moderate this kind of debate!
-
You can tell that Bill is enjoying just being able to speak to someone he holds in such high regard very enjoyable
-
Roger Penrose is the perfect ambassador for science, he is humble, acknowledges when he doesn't know and is skeptical of claims that cannot be easily investigated.
-
I'm an atheist and I'm usually not particularly fond of William Lane Craig, but he's much more likeable in this conversational setting rather than a formal debate setting. It was a good conversation. I generally favour Roger's positition, but I thought Craig did raise some reasonable objections to CCC. Great moderation too. I must say, kudos to a Christian organisation willing to arrange these conversations and hear opposing viewpoints. A lot of other areas in our society just now could use this kind of civil engagement over disagreements.
-
this moderator is absolutely fantastic. extremely likeable, has basic knowledge to ask the right questions, rarely interrupts etc.
-
This is the internet at it's best .First rate moderator and a privilege to be able to witness this conversation. We are made of stardust at the quantum level and yet are conscious therefore intuition is worth respecting.
-
Man. I love scientists/mathematicians like Roger. Open minded, respectful and humble to all. He dose not hate religion but skeptical. Everyone has a right to be so. Roger is a good man.
-
First class moderator. He should have a world wide radio/tv show!
-
Absolutely love these conversations. I still like them more when they are like this; discussions and not debates. They are both looking for a truth rather than defending their position.
-
This is how two human beings are to conduct themselves in a serious debate ... good job fellows !!! I am in awe of Dr Craig and his ittelect as a theological Man !!
-
I can only wish that at 88 years old I can engage in high level debates like this without skipping a beat
-
We must keep Sir Roger alive for another 100 years please
-
Moderatör did an excellent job… Thank you very much for this amazing conversation
-
As a theist myself, Roger Penrose has given me a lot to think about and consider. These are two men, speaking in their own fields of expertise, brilliant!
-
This is what a civil discussion looks like, folks.
-
Penrose is the gentleman scientist Everyone could take a lesson from him
-
Absolutely outstanding discussion. I love Roger Penrose's humility and brilliance. Of course, William Craig always is interesting too. Getting them together? Fantastic! (And refreshing, because it was a civil discussion)
-
"It's very hard to bore a photon". Love the British wit!
