Discovery begins with a question.
Exploring some of
life's biggest questions.
Evidence doesn't interpret itself. Our worldview interprets it for us.
Is it Chance...
or Design?
Every video we make is meant to give you food for thought.
-
The origin of life
-
DNA and information
-
The fine-tuning of the universe
-
Consciousness
-
Mathematics
-
Morality
-
Personal experiences
...and more.
Worldview: Everyone has one.
It is like a set of filters that you put information you receive through.
If it matches what you believe to be true, then you accept the information.
If it does not fit, then you likely will ignore it.
But sometimes, a piece of information cannot be readily accepted nor ignored, and you must choose.
If the idea of design or God is not one of your acceptable filters, then you cannot truly evaluate all information you receive fairly.
