00:00:00
Surveys find that roughly 80% of Gen Z
00:00:02
believe in astrology and many allow it
00:00:04
to influence major life decisions
00:00:05
because there's a branch of all of us
00:00:07
who must have answers to every question.
00:00:09
And if you want to think you're not in
00:00:10
control of your fate because the sun,
00:00:12
moon, and planets are. It's a free
00:00:13
country. What I care about as an
00:00:15
educator is objective truth. And as a
00:00:17
scientist, it's disturbing how easily
00:00:19
people divide each other based on skin
00:00:21
color, religion, what food you eat, what
00:00:22
language they speak, and then they find
00:00:24
some other philosophy that differs, and
00:00:25
then they go to war. But when I step
00:00:27
back with a cosmic perspective, you
00:00:28
realize how ridiculous it is.
00:00:30
Give me the cosmic perspective.
00:00:31
Well, there's nothing that we can put on
00:00:33
the table that can rival the
00:00:34
measurements of the universe. And we are
00:00:36
literally composed of stardust. So when
00:00:38
people think they're different, they
00:00:39
have DNA in common with all of the life
00:00:41
forms on Earth. Like you have 20%
00:00:44
identical genes to a banana.
00:00:45
Excuse me.
00:00:47
Okay, we all do, not just you. And
00:00:48
that's not there are molecules that went
00:00:50
in and out of your lungs that are in
00:00:52
China being breathed by people there.
00:00:53
And go further back. Jesus inhaled them.
00:00:55
So, how's that the oneness with others?
00:00:57
That can't be true.
00:00:58
And that's the next problem. People
00:01:00
value what they think is true more than
00:01:03
what is true. That's a recipe for the
00:01:05
unraveling of civilization as we know
00:01:07
it. But as a scientist, show me the
00:01:09
data.
00:01:09
As someone that knows so much about the
00:01:11
universe and objective truth, I've got a
00:01:13
lot of questions. So, what do you think
00:01:14
is the probability of me getting to
00:01:16
another planet in my lifetime? And then,
00:01:17
could you make the case that the
00:01:19
universe is simulated by some sort of
00:01:20
advanced life form? And also, did humans
00:01:23
evolve at some point to believe? And you
00:01:24
think you would be happier if you
00:01:26
believed in God.
00:01:26
Oh, so you're going to spice us up a
00:01:28
bit. Okay.
