Is there a God, and why does the answer matter so much? On this episode of The Ultimate Issues Hour, Dennis Prager explores what he considers the most important question in life and explains why our answer shapes how we understand meaning, morality, and human existence.

Dennis discusses his new PragerU course, “The Most Important Verse in the Bible,” which focuses on Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” He explains why he believes this verse provides the foundation for life’s meaning and purpose, and why the question of God’s existence deserves a central place in our education and public conversation.

Taking calls from listeners, Dennis addresses questions about who created God, whether atheists can be wise and virtuous, where our moral values come from, and whether life can have ultimate meaning without a Creator. He also examines the relationship between religious belief, the sanctity of human life, and the foundations of Western civilization.

Does morality require belief in God? Can people live good lives without faith? And if there is no God, does anything ultimately matter? Dennis tackles these questions and more in a wide-ranging discussion about faith, reason, and the meaning of life.
