Professor Ard Louis is one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists. He sat down with John Dickson to talk about why he fervently believes that we don’t need to prove God exists.

Ard is serious in his quest to have a coherent system that makes some sense of the world. It’s what he gets out of bed to discover every day. And he’s not afraid that the more he discovers, the less he’ll need God. Quite the opposite:

“Science is one of the parts of the world that actually increases the likelihood of God being there,” he says.
