Does modern science actually point toward God? In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong take on a provocative atheist argument claiming that spirit — and therefore God — cannot exist. Dave responds with a compelling analogy drawn from cutting-edge physics: dark energy and dark matter together make up roughly 95% of the universe, yet science can neither see nor fully explain either one. If scientists can believe in mysterious, undetectable forces based on their observable effects, why can't theists believe in God the same way? We explore key Bible passages — Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3, Romans 1:20, and more — showing that Scripture described invisible foundations of the universe long before modern cosmology caught up. Science and faith belong together.
