YouTube description

This clip is actually a compilation of clips from two other videos, listed below (all credits go to their respective uploaders).

In the first one, physicist Brian Cox presents a question he once posed to a gathering of Bishops.

In the second one, scholar David Bentley Hart explains why nothing in cosmology can even begin to answer the essential questions that theology deals with, and this has been known since the early centuries of Christianity.

I decided to compile this video because the David Bentley Hart video is from 2017 and has about 8K views, while the Brian Cox video is from 2019 and has more than 600K.

It's such a shame that things that ought to be known (and have been known for thousands of years) are ignored, while misunderstandings spread like wildfire.
