How do we know the age of the Universe, really? Today’s guest suggests atheists should believe our world is actually 5 minutes old… no, seriously!!

In this episode, Vince Vitale hosts a fascinating discussion with David Lu and Dan Linford to explore a groundbreaking theory and its philosophical and scientific implications on the Big Bang, the existence of a Creator, and the age of the universe. 

🔍 David Lu presents a novel argument suggesting the universe might only be five minutes old, challenging traditional cosmological beliefs. This bold claim ignites a lively debate on causation, time, and the very nature of existence.

💡 Dan Linford counters with philosophical and scientific perspectives, leading to a deep exploration of topics such as:

• The nature of space-time and causation
• Probability distributions of cosmic events and the Boltzmann brain problem
• Empirical evidence vs. theoretical claims about the universe’s age
• The validity of cosmological dating methods

Together, they unpack whether the universe’s beginning requires a cause and explore how the interplay of science and philosophy shapes our understanding of reality.
