Question from Robert: Hi! I’ve recently had a Christian professor of mine talk about the creation of the universe, and say the spontaneous creation of life was impossible due to irreducible complexity.

Question from Josie: Hello this is a college student who is pretty much confused. I do have a fact in mind God doesn’t exist. But, the other part of me doesn’t.

Question from Nick: I’ve done research on many different concepts in religion and philosophy, and have come to the conclusion that we should just call the universe God.
