I heard the broadcast and they briefly dug into all the points we cover here. Really didn&apos;t add anything, but I am pleased they are trying to introduce the public to this kind of debate.-I know your fondness for Stenger, but compared to the opinions of most cosmologists, he is a voice in the wilderness, and I&apos;ll stick with  the others. I do believe God is more than a Deist creator.
