Astrophysicist Dr Luke Barnes, senior lecturer in physics at Western Sydney University, joins Andrew Urquhart to talk about how the Big Bang lines up with Genesis, whether the universe looks young or old, and why the multiverse is more nuanced than Marvel makes out. Luke also unpacks quantum mechanics, fine tuning, and why he sees faith and science as beautifully compatible rather than in competition.

Dr Barnes was a keynote speaker at the Thinking Matters Conference in Auckland.
