The following video is astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross' lectures at one of the DECIDE Conferences. The lectures have been spliced together into one large 7 1/4 hours long video. One of my criticism of Hugh Ross is that he sometimes make overly dogmatic claims that surpass what the evidence actually would suggest. That he needs to be more modest in his claims, less loose and more precise, measured and nuanced statements. Especially where some of his claims are grounded in speculation. For example, he'll say that everyone acknowledges the reality of fine-tuning. Actually, there are some scientists who dispute or at least question the reality of fine-tuning. If he were more precise and nuanced in his statements, he's say that most scientists acknowledge the apparent fine-tuning. And some who do might appeal to the multiverse to explain the fine-tuning away. See my blog, "Problems with the Multiverse" Ross also sometimes commits versions of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy. Nevertheless, much of the evidences he presents, both individually and collectively, are suggestive of the existence of a cosmic designer, if one evaluates them more circumspectly.
