Native Americans have a saying
if dogs and horses could draw their gods
their gods would look like dogs and horses

How could you not believe in God when Sean Carroll looks so good here. There's no other explanation

30:11 Rebuttal of the Fine-Tuning Argument.

What I do know about God is that when a tornado strikes the Bible Belt, he has nothing to do with that.  But if an earthquake strikes San Francisco, God is sending a direct message to those people.

if you focus on studying one religion, you'll be hooked for life. But if you study two, you'll be done in an hour.

40:40 William Lane Craig does do that thing with integers in his book then lies about mathematicians.

This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

7:30 to 8:22 is one of my favourite points.

If you close your eyes he sounds like John Mulaney is giving a Physics lecture.

Hit the nail on the head at ~14:00. We might PREFER to have a “why,” but it could be that the universe just IS.

~50:30 = some of the most powerful & thought provoking words I have ever heard from a human being thus far.

I'd never considered that this universe has conditioned my mind into expecting causality be a universal property.

If you don't watch but just listen, it's very easy to convince yourself that young Alan Alda is giving this lecture.

This is probably the best '"debate" you will ever see on the existence of god.  Carroll argues both sides well and fairly.

i love and respect SEAN CARROL

I really enjoyed his God Theory vs. Multiverse and String Theories probability explanation.

beautiful lecture

I think the only thing missing from this was a mic drop and a peace sign as he kicks the door open to leave.

The ''fine tuning'' conundrum may be resolved if the universe is assumed to exit forever.
For then there is time enough for the universe to pass through all its phases/eons with all possible combinations of natural constants. So clearly we are in a phase/eon of the universe with the present values of the natural constants that are obviously consistent with our presence in it.
(Note that, it is not necessary to assume infinitely many universes to be present at one time, rather,  only one universe passing through its infinitely many possible phases/eons.)
