Science Logic and Faith – The Mutiverse
Science Logic and Faith – The Mutiverse
Located at the Bel Air Church, 16221 Mulholland Drive, L.A., room DC 102. There is an expression, “All roads lead to Rome”. In a similar way it can be said that among science-orientated people, all existence of God discussions lead to contemplating the Multiverse, the possibility that there are other universes besides our own. We will explore this idea, which is highly speculative since there is currently no way to measure or detect another universe and probably never will be. Big Bang cosmology strongly suggests there is something beyond our universe. Is it a God, a multiverse, or both? The meetings are [...]

Science Logic and Faith
Science Logic and Faith
Located at Bel Air Church, 16221 Mulholland Drive, L.A., room DC 102. Do we live in a computer simulation? For centuries philosophers entertained the question of whether the universe is an illusion. A modern take on this question is whether the universe is a computer simulation, similar to the movie The Matrix. When researching this topic, I was shocked to see how much discussion is out there regarding us being in a computer simulation and how many people see this as a realistic possibility. The talk will first briefly address the illusion question and then move on to artificial intelligence. From [...]
