Reflection

Christopher Langan is often described as one of the highest-IQ individuals ever tested. In this clip, he shares why he believes the universe points beyond itself and why, after years of deep thought, he concluded that God is the most rational explanation for reality. Whether you agree or disagree, it's a fascinating perspective that challenges the idea that faith and intelligence are incompatible.

• If the universe 'points beyond itself,' what kind of reality might it be pointing to?
• How do you usually respond to the claim that faith and intelligence are incompatible?
