Origins (Part 1)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Origins (Part 1)", Steve Gregg discusses the origins of the universe, world, life, and human race. He argues that there is clear evidence of design and purposefulness in nature and that everything in the universe, including life, is information-based. The speaker presents a critical perspective on scientific theories related to the origins of life and the relatedness of living beings. He discusses the different assumptions that evolutionists make regarding the origins of life and points out that some of these assumptions cannot be verified in a laboratory or experimental setting. The goal is to examine and refute arguments made by both creationists and evolutionists to arrive at a more accurate understanding of the origins of life.
