About Elevator Pitches for God

Two longtime friends got an idea to ask seventy thought leaders to prove God, but only gave them 500 words or one page to do it - and that book became the bestselling Elevator Pitches for God.

Science and God

"I've witnessed a lot of atomic bombs exploding.” said Dr Gerald Schroeder, a brilliant nuclear physicist who for the last several decades has worked to show how science supports a belief In God. Dr Schroeder provides compelling evidence for the idea that all knowledge is converging on the recognition that one unifying intelligence created and suffuses the whole universe. In this broad ranging conversation with Dr. David Porush, the two contributors to elevator pitches for God discuss the narrowing gap between science and religion, highlighting how scientific discoveries lead to belief in a creator. They also delve the significance of the Big Bang, near-death experiences, the intricate relationship between the brain and environment, how consciousness may be a result of quantum mechanics. the controversial multiverse theory, the notion that the universe is designed for complexity and more, including how the war in Israel affected Dr Schroeder and his family. I know my head was spinning as I eavesdropped on their conversation so I invite you to this high flying roller coaster ride.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
