Questions Covered:

• 11:20 – My 8-year-old wants to know why we don’t have memories from when we are babies?
• 29:40 – Greetings from Northern England, where we also eat dinner in the middle of the day! My question is this: If an infinite multiverse does indeed exist, does that mean that in each universe God would either have to 1) not create rational beings capable of falling or 2) when he does, incarnate in each universe to redeem it? If a third option is possible it would seem that the fall and the incarnation are not necessary, and if they aren’t God wouldn’t be perfectly good in allowing them.
• 43:26 – If we could quickly travel vast distances in space and also had extreme telescope technology. Would it be possible to travel thousands of light years away, then turn our amazing telescopes back on earth and watch the pyramids being built or travel 65 million light years and see what killed the dinosaurs etc.?
• 50:00 – Could some cryptids be demons in disguise?
