George Ellis reflects in more depth on why and how the "kenotic ethic" works. He provides examples of why this governing principle may, or may not, prevail in the face of evil. |
Ellis fields a question from the WHYY audience asking how his scientific view of the universe is informed by his Quaker faith. He looks to New Testament Scripture for the essence of creation. |

A member of the audience asks what Ellis sees as "the Apartheid of our day." He looks to a kenotic answer for first-world countries. |
In the Q+A session, an audience member asks large questions about the beginning of space and time, and time before time. Ellis looks to analogs in our material universe for the answers. |
With every scientific discovery, a new batch of questions arise. Ellis doesn't trouble himself with having science answer all the questions, but as a beginning to another field of studies uncertain to mathematicians and scientists. |
