Even mainstream secular scientists claim that approx. 95% of the Universe is still unknown (i.e. Dark Energy and Dark Matter). Of the remaining 5% of the Universe, only 0.0035% exists within the visible light spectrum which the human eye is capable of observing. Moreover, of all that is made of atoms and capable of being observed in this "Material" universe, 99.999999999% is actually empty space (i.e. "Non-material"). Therefore, there is much, much more that humanity does not know about the Universe and Reality than it does know. Based on just this information, the position of claiming to be Atheist is shown to be illogical, irrational and unreasonable. The illogical, irrational, and unreasonable position of claiming that there is No Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence (i.e. Atheism): The fallacy is the assumption that something is true (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) unless proven otherwise. The Claimant making a negative claim (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) cannot logically, rationally, and reasonably prove nonexistence. Because, for a Claimant to know that X does not exist would require the Claimant to possess 100% knowledge of all things with 100% certainty and 100% accuracy (i.e. omniscience). Over the millennia, connotations of the word "God" have become so deteriorated. The terms Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence seem more relevant for these types of discussions. It seems that the concept of God is not experimentally testable. However, evidence for the effects of Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence are scientifically demonstrable. *_“… Every one who is seriously engaged in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that the laws of nature manifest the existence of a spirit vastly superior to that of men, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.”_* Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), founder of modern physics (Theory of Relativity inter alia) and 1921 Nobel prize winner *_“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind (i.e. Observer). This mind is the matrix of all matter.”_* Max Plank (the Father of Quantum Physics) Modern scientific discoveries in Genetics (i.e. biology) have shown that functional / coded / digital Information (i.e. DNA code) is at the core of All Biological Systems. Without functional / coded / digital information, there is No biology. The only known source (i.e. cause) in the universe that has been Observed (i.e. Scientific Method) in nature to be capable of producing functional / coded / digital information, such as that found even in the most primitive biological systems, is mind / consciousness / intelligence. During an interview, when asked if the genetic code is really a code, Dr. Richard Dawkins answered, *_“It [the genetic code] is a code. It's definitely a code.”_* (Source: Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually RU-vid Channel Interview with Dr. Richard Dawkins on 4-2-2022. Dr. Richard Dawkins is widely regarded as the world’s foremost expert on Darwinian Evolution) The fact that DNA / genes (biological coded information) exists at all shows that a Consciousness-'Intelligence-Mind' is involved in the initial introduction and subsequent propagation of living systems. Un-directed random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing Functional / Coded / Digital information such as that required for biological systems, even at the most primitive levels of biological life. *_"Language: All Digital communications require a formal language, which in this context consists of all the information that the sender and receiver of the digital communication must both possess, in advance, in order for the communication to be successful."_* (Wikipedia: Digital Data) Inherent in DNA is language. Language is scientifically proven to be the product of only Mind/ Consciousness / Intelligence. Laws of the Universe exist Independent of anyone's personal beliefs in the existence of the Laws of the Universe. Just as man-made laws govern society globally, Universal Laws govern the entire Universe. Un-directed random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing any form of laws. As scientifically confirmed, non-material laws are the product of only Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence.
What Dr. Hugh Ross said at 59:13, "God said look, no one can live up to the standard that I demand. But I'm here to give you what you can't get for yourself." When I heard that I felt a weight lift off of me, a relief. Thank you God! Thank you Becket Cook, and thank you Hugh Ross!
What Dr. Hugh Ross said at @. "God said look, no one can live up to the standard that I demand, I'm here to give you what you can't get for yourself." Where does it say that in the Bible ? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the Bible. Maybe Dr Ross was just making up his own interpretation .

@@wantlessworkless.2558 Hi, yes you are correct. That sentence is not written in the bible, word for word. If you replay the video just a little bit before that part, you hear Dr. Hugh share his understanding of the moral message of God's word. I'm curious to know, after you have read the Bible, what do you think God's message is to all of us?
@@clearhope1092 If you take off the rose coloured glasses, resist the cherry picking and don't ignore the bad bits , the Old Testament is not the best thing to read for acquiring good morality. I get tired of listening to all the "interpretations" that try to make it more palatable but to me the Bible was written to be adhered to literally .........the words were never meant to be interpreted . For instance, the man who was found collecting sticks on the sabbath, Moses asked God what should be done with him and god told Moses that he must be put to death for working on the sabbath. No second chance and no appeal for mercy , SO how many Christians have ignored Gods word and worked on the sabbath ?
@@wantlessworkless.2558 I see the point you're making. Maybe the issue that we're having, (not me and you, but everyone in general who's making these kinds of points) is interpreting the story of the God of the old testament verses the Christian representation of the same God, Creator, redeemer. I have read a good amount of scripture out of curiosity, and I still have questions. If God is who others have said he is, I guess we'll all find out some day, maybe.
I hope this blesses some... 🙏 I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊 *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥 *All things are possible with God*
Haven’t even watched yet, but can’t wait to send this to my son. He’s a gifted science(Neuroscience Pre-med) guy at an Ivy League school...and totally sold out for Jesus! 🙌
Albert Einstein said in an interview "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.... No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in everey word. No myth is filled with such life. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrase-mongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot." - from What Life Means to Einstein in The Saturday Evening Post, October 26,1929
@@tstieber Define "actual judaism". Do you define it as "ethnic jews"? All different traditions of judaism have ethnic jews. Who says rabbinical judaism is the true one? There were many traditions of judaism who accepted Jesus as the messiaha, but they were exterminated by rabbinical judaism. *Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri* himself was an ethnic jew and rabbinical jew for most of his life, until he accepted Jesus as the messiaha at the end of his life, and all of his disciples now accept Jesus as the messiaha as well (One of his disciples said that on camera !!!).

Best guest ever Beckett! I am such a apologetic fan of Hugh Ross... I have reread his book lights in the sky and Little Green Men three times... I teach it to my high school students at our Christian School. Several people I know have bought it. I read his book the fingerprint of God years ago when it came out and I still have that copy! His books have opened up so many doorways for me to witness to people who are atheist. Thank you for having him on your show!
Amazzinng 😍🔥🤍 thank you for this interview Dr. Hugh Ross and Becket Cook! We’ve learned so much from this! Indeed, we serve a God who is a personal God, the Creator of this universe and He loves each one of us! So great His love, He came to save us by dying on the cross, rose from the dead, so that everyone who believes in Him will be saved and be with Him for eternity! 🤍
Dear Chynna - try his book, ALWAYS BE READY. A lot easier to read because it’s his personal story and a fascinating one and how his heart is for evangelism. LOL… Yes his books are heavy and head-y! I can only take a few pages at a time… But it just shows me how intricate an amazing our God truly is. And yet he loves us with an everlasting love! And Chynna, love you and your amazing ministry!
@@Rob9mm really? He's convinced you of that? The law of entropy = order goes to chaos, big bang = chaos goes to order! All theoretical science is a religion, Scientism. Goes 180 Deg against the word of God!
I wish I had this information when I was in high school and my science teacher continually told me to leave God at the door of his classroom. Praising the Lord for having it now! Continuing to pray for this ministry and all participating.
Amazing podcast Becket! So glad I discovered you! Been binging on your podcasts during work!😅 You are an inspiration and a powerful servant of the Lord indeed! O Lord bless your ministry and your work! May it reach far and wide, bring back lost sheep and strengthen believers in every corner of of the world. God bless you and keep you Becket! Praying for you every day🙏❤
So interesting! A little above my head, but the general message is conveyed-There is most certainly a Creator and He is most definitely a personal God. Becket, you’re so smart.😍 awesome interview! 🙌🏼
I appreciate the fact that Becket actually gives people chance to speak and answer the questions, and also Becket asks good questions as an interviewer. It's a good interview with Hugh, glad to hear what he has to say. God bless Becket and Hugh
What a great show! Both of my sons are very scientific and have concerns God really created the universe and Jesus was the son of God! Iam going to buy these books for them! Thank you Beckett for always going the extra mile! Much appreciated! Blessings 🙏🕊💖
I wonder if when King Solomon said "the heavens of the heavens cannot contain Him," had even an idea of how right he was! As usual, awesome video, Beckett.
Oh thats upsetting. Im sorry to hear the athiests were wounded. Weve got to pray for them that theyll be able to forgive and will let God help them. Ive been very wounded too. I get it!
Thank you so much for having Dr. Hugh Ross on your show. I've been struggling with reconciling my faith with science, and this has been a huge answer to prayer. I believe that as Christians we need to have a better understand science and who else to learn from an expert in the field like Dr. Ross.
I live in Switzerland. I ordered your book 📖☺ through Orell Füssli a book shop here in CH but it may not be coming soon because, as they informed me that they cannot get it from the publisher. They reserved my order and will get it to me as soon as they get it. I am looking forward to read it. I Thank God for you and your testimony and ministry.
Not really "HUGE" (in my opinion). God created science, so it's very natural for a scientist to believe in God, since they study His handiwork up close and personal! As a mathematics major (before becoming a Christian), I could easily see and believe in God by observing the beauty of mathematics -- I knew SOMEONE had to have created math. Lots of people believe in God -- that's a good thing, but the really important thing is to believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Merely believing that God exists will not save someone.
@@CarolSpen4000 hey no reason to be salty. Obviously there’s more to someone than looks. Becket is an intellectual, well spoken, articulate, passionate. There’s so many other reasons why I love Becket! I’m actually very happy being single. I just want to share the love and if I find someone’s traits to be attractive, there’s nothing wrong with pointing that out.
Another one I love to listen to is Dr. John Lennox. He is enthralling and learned; a polite and a friendly man who takes much abuse from those who don’t believe. Prayers for all who presently, and will eventually, know and follow the Lord Jesus Christ! Stand strong for Him.
Hi Becket, just received your book in the mail yesterday and was up half the night reading it, Dr Ross has been a favorite since his days on TBN, good to see him after quite a while !!!!!
Becket, thank God for you, thank you for your ministry in general and this episode in particular! I’m a huge fan of your show, looking forward to each Friday because there’s going to be a new part (here in Ukraine they’re out on Friday mornings) We here don’t get even a tenth of amazing Christian literature that is available in the US, so your show gives a great insight into it. Now I can go to that website and get access to at least some chapters of those intriguing books that you’ve shown 🙂
Mr. Cook, your microphone often times sounds a little low especially while watching in TV. Just wanted to give you that feedback. Thank you for setting such a good example and your obedience to our Lord. love you!
Another home run, Becket! I am a huge fan of Dr. Ross’. I have read several of his books which, in my mind, are classics……but my favorite one was his book, ALWAYS BE READY. It not only included his life’s story which was fascinating but also his thoughts and experiences with evangelism… Wow!! It’s as equally mind blowing as CREATOR AND THE COSMOS.. God has gifted him with an unbelievable mind…thats’s a given. But God has also equally given him a heart for people and God’s Word. Thank you again, Becket for all you do! You are a treasure!!!
My pastor did a series on how much science is in the bible. I'm STILL astonished to find out how much aligns with the bible & how science continues to catch up with what was written 100's/1000's of yrs ago. What a great way to lead ppl to Christ!
@@coffeeandbytes9854 Please explain how the Ancient Author knew the Earth was covered in water? Or, the Sun's light did not reach the surface of the Earth? Or, the water cycle? Or, the land "rose" creating seas? How did the writer know there were "seas" plural?, etc., etc. The Earth was flat, right? How did the Author get the correct origins order of plant and animal life? How did the Author know that the Earth's atmosphere changed from opaque to translucent to transparent? Utter nonsense you say?
Science isn't about prophecy. If anything science is light years ahead of the Bible. And how much "science" is in other holy texts besides the Bible if that's the case?
@@MutsPub Explain how these are not presumptuous questions? Why do you say the Earth "was" flat? Why does Genesis have to be a science quiz rather than an interpretive metaphor (which seems a bit more fascinating)? The order of plant and animal life emergence is debatable but why not mention the entire order of creation instead of just those?
@@iloveyoursnottyattitude6137 The Bible got the 4 starting conditions and the 10 Creation events correct and in the proper chronological order!!!!!! HOW? AGAIN, HOW?!!!! NO other text is even remotely close. The Bible got 14 out of 14 correct. All the others got 0 out of 14 except one that got 2 correct.
Beckett, I am so glad you have discovered Hugh Ross and you had him on your show! I pray this will lead many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! I am so proud of you! God bless you!
Thank you so much for hosting this interview. I love the Lord and fascinated by science even though Im a lay person. It's so rewarding to learn how science and also archeology are more and more demonstrating the truth of His word.
SO Brother Becket is also a 'Science Geek' 😉 I say this endearingly! While I cannot say that I understood all the complex science jargon (it's always gone far over my head. i do try!) I could appreciate the parts I grasped & the compelling info involved. And that really was the perfect wrapped up ending to the show! Praying many will watch.
This is not science but the religion, Scientism! It goes against the word of God. IE the Bible never says planets but wondering stars. The Bible says the stars are angels that have been commanded to stand still and God knows all their names! Satan is the father of all lies, the world is full of lies.
My goodness, I could have listened to Dr. Ross all day. I was able to understand what he spoke about. A must share with my friends and family!! Can’t wait to purchase his books!!
Brother Becket!!! Love your face...Love your spirit...Love your Joy...Love your message!!! And I love your guests!!! Rock on....Love, Cherie HUgggzzzz.....
Wow! Excellent interview Becket. I am not a scientist or theologian, but was blown away by the brilliant mind of Dr Ross. My 11 yo son tests in the 99th percentile for math and science so I saved this video for a day (I pray) will never come. Just in case… because I have found, too often, people can be “too smart” for God. Thankfully, He will meet us where we are…”down and out” as I was or “up and out” like you. Love you, Becket.
THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!! MORE BECKET MORE! God Bless you brother praying God continues to bless and keep you as He elevates the ministry He's given you. LOVE IT🙏🏿👏🏿🤗🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your late I heard Hugh Ross speak thirty years ago.Great man.Science actually confirms God's existence. Just the DNA in your human body the complexity, design is incredible.....
I love this long podcast. So much information. It inspires me how Christian's continue to prove God truthfully, biblically and scientifically. I have so much to learn, grow and improve myself for God's kingdom in order to reach certain audience to talk about God. Thank u Becket for inviting and interviewing God's people. I pray for your journey with Christ. P.S. Whenever, u present a book, I literally write in my list to buy. I hope u do recommendations. And also, u inspire me to read.
Besides the first three recommendations I haven't read the books. But they are on my booklist and they are worth considering, although I can obviously not personally attest to them. The first three recommendations I can attest though. Especially if you don't want superficial books. My booklist is well over 150 books and I could recommend more. But too much is not as helpful as a short list. That's why I selected the best over a range of topics. _- Lysia McGrew_ has three good books on the historicity and reliability of the new testament. _- Stairway to life_ is a great book on difficulties in abiogenesis. _- Controversy of the Ages_ describes how Christians dealt with science over history and how old earth and young earth and stuff like that developed. _- Darwin Devolves: The New Science About DNA That Challenges Evolution_ This book is about the experiments showing positive and negative mutations in Evolution. _- Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Creationist Research_ The title says it all. _- Crucifixion_ by _Martin Hengel_ Very in-depth on the crucifixion. _- THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS: A NEW HISTORIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH_ Also very in-depth on the crucifixion. _- The Big Book of Bible Difficulties: Clear and Concise Answers from Genesis to Revelation_ The title says it all. _- Mind & Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False_ The title says it all. If I'm not mistaken then this is not really a Christian book. But it is certainly against materialism.
Pastor/ Astrophysicist Hugh Ross...brilliant with plenty of scientific reasons to believe!!! Thank you, Becket for this wonderful interview! Maybe one day you could also interview his friend Fazale Rana, he gives us other reasons to believe but looking at microbiology...both fascinating scientists, men of God like you, Becket!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow wow wow so powerful! I remember having the book Beyond the Cosmos in our home when I was younger and reading some of it. I live hearing him speak, God is good!
Wow, this is so clever. This all makes so much complete sense to me and sends a shiver down my spine. Our God is amazing, wow! Thank you both for a great conversation on the most important and wonderful topic in the world.
My brother just sent me a an interview of Dr. Steven Boyd. Research Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages Executive Editor of the Creation Theology Society. Outstanding and enriching. This was just when I was going through this interview with Hugh Ross. I was introduced to him years ago. I might not agree with his old earth creation beliefs. But I so admire him using his mind and challenging his fellow scientists towards the existence of a creator. Ken Ham, another creationist and apologist. But a young earth creationist. Whom I seem to lean towards. All in all, humans, we can never wholly agree with any at all points. But if the foundation is based on Jesus Christ, His gospel and on the inerrant Word of God, hey then that’s all that matters. I love and admire all these incredible men of God. They are being used to draw many to the truth of the gospel. You too Becket! May we strive to search the truth of God’s Word, love our neighbours, share the gospel in love and bring glory to the One Who has gifted us with eternal life.
You are a fabulous interviewer! The science connection to The Bible and the consistency and accuracy of The Bible with regard to the history of the universe is way under-discussed, and this was so enjoyable. Thank you.
It seems to me that the reason why viewpoints like Ross's are as you put it are under-discussed is because not everybody within the community holds to that position?
There really is a beginning! Science is God's love and mercy toward man to understand and receive beauty, creativity, answers to diseases, time and space, inspiration for math. If a thousand years is as one day to God then time and space has no limits of potential. I love Jesus, I enjoy science and I get excited about patterns in this universe.
What Hugh Ross says is all supposition, interpretation and the twisting of words.....he does not have one piece of concrete proof but the Christians are desperate for any words that try to explain religious anomalies that real science has exposed.
Thank you so much Beckett for such bringing such a fascinating guest! Thank you Hugh Ross for being so generous with your knowledge and making it easy to understand!
Becket ….. the depth and breadth of this interview was so educational. Thank you for bringing on wonderful guests. That was truly awesome! Dr. Ross continues to make GOD famous ✝️
Great episode 🤩😃😌 I don't understand all the wild science/astronomy stuff but I truly appreciate the experiences of that guy, sounds like he's had a fascinating very educated life. So thank you both!!!!!!
