What You Aren't Told About Astronomy | Spike Psarris and David Rives | Changing the Narrative

Spike Psarris joins David on Changing the Narrative to talk about the video series he produced on what mainstream astronomy education leaves out, and to walk through a six word question he uses to challenge secular models of the universe's origin: did the universe have a beginning. Psarris breaks down why each possible answer to that question runs into a different law of thermodynamics, and traces how the Big Bang model has shifted since it was first proposed in the early twentieth century.

The conversation also gets into whether a fully naturalistic worldview can account for consciousness, free will, and morality, including responses to physicist Lawrence Krauss's book A Universe from Nothing and philosopher Alvin Plantinga's argument about evolution and reliable reasoning.
