Has Science just proved God? Michel-Yves Bolloré v Niayesh Afshordi hosted by John Nelson

A bestselling French engineer argues that modern cosmology points to a Creator — but a leading physicist says science explains it all without God. Unbelievable? podcast hosts John Nelson cosmologist Dr Niayesh Afshordi, co-author of Battle of the Big Bang [https://amzn.to/4ogv5hu] and engineer Michel-Yves Bolloré for a lively clash on cosmic origins. Highlights 01:41 – Did the universe have a definite beginning? 12:41 – Does a beginning require a cause (and God)? Or are we extrapolating? 15:29 – “God of the gaps”? Both guests go head-to-head 29:38 – Fine-tuning explained: the 20–30 ‘cosmic constants’ and why it matters 58:01 – Personal: Afshordi growing up under religious police in Iran (science, faith & control) Afshordi outlines ideas that our universe may have emerged from a black hole and surveys competing models of the Big Bang. Bolloré, co-author of Bestselling, God: The Science, The Evidence, argues that twentieth-century discoveries - from thermodynamics and entropy to expansion and fine-tuning—stack up as evidence for a Creator. They test “beginning versus eternity,” debate whether fine-tuning signals design or selection effects, and ask what constitutes prediction, falsifiability, and proof. Is the “God hypothesis” scientific, metaphysical, or both? Can science ever answer “why there is something rather than nothing”? Thoughtful, spirited, and friendly, this episode brings faith and physics into constructive dialogue. 👉 Get bonus content, updates, fascinating articles, and early access to new episodes - absolutely free!
