About this episode

Astrophysicist Ben Ridley discusses the relationship between faith and the cosmos, exploring the creation of the universe from a Christian perspective.

“Science gives us this information of what things are, how they come tobe, but it doesn’t explain why the universe was created and that’s whereI find faith fills the gap.” Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered how everything came to be? Is all just a random series of events or is there really a Creator behind it all? Trained astrophysicist, Ben Ridley, shares his understanding of how faith and the cosmos have a distinct relationship and how it can help us understand the universe from a Christian perspective.
