He lectures extensively on how science points to design of the universe, and therefore the reality of God’s existence is very likely and plausible. Much of his work focuses on looking at scientific laws (i.e.The Law of Conservation of Matter/Energy), and how these laws, plus our modern scientific discovery, show that God (something supernatural outside of our universe) has to exist.
