Note* It is true the Hebrew word for headwaters mostly refers to the head of something, but the root word has so many meanings from head, chief, ends, divisions, companies, top, ridge, best, etc. https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7218.htm Needless to say, but the Hebrew is not necessarily referring to a place where one river splits to form 4 but can be referring to the reverse. The same can be seen with the word yatsa. It can mean to go out or came out: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3318.htm Join us at: inspiringphilosophy.org To help support this ministry click here: https://www.patreon.com/inspiringphilosophy

Early thinkers like Eugine Wigner put forward an argument for God's existence from this piece of data. Building on his argument, I have helped to formalize this argument.

Matt demonstrated throughout the debate how much faith he has and how little he relies on evidence and scientific data. Correction: I should have said "Denying the antecedent" not "affirming the consequent."

A few other physicists reviewed this but asked to remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

I argue from skeptics of this interpretation in physics, it is an ad hoc interpretation and doesn't compete with the standard and orthodox interpretation.
