Does Nature's Beauty Point to a Creator? With Xandra Grieme | Ep 58

All Rise with Abdu Murray

The world is full of wonders both mysterious and beautiful. Do we have reasons to believe that this beauty points to anything beyond itself? Our special guest, Xandra Grieme, says that when it comes to beauty, there may be more than meets the eye. Xandra Grieme is an apologist, speaker, and curator for the Museum of Created Beauty. She earned her bachelor of science degree from Colorado State University, studied apologetics at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, and completed an MA in Conservation Biology from Victoria University of Wellington. Her scientific research includes work in parasitology, flow cytometry, and ecological restoration.
