Well, it’s worth a try, suggests astronomer and apologist Hugh Ross:
Usually when I am asked to speak to a lay audience the sponsors ask that I shorten my talk and dumb down the content. I had the opposite experience when I showed up at Laguna Woods Village, an active lifestyle community for people 55 and older. I was prepared to give a 40-45 minute talk and field questions for another 45 minutes. The sponsors told me the talk had to be at least 90 minutes and that it had to be intellectually challenging where all attendees would leave thinking about something they had never thought about before. Fortunately, I had arrived an hour early. I put together a 90-minute talk, much of it based on scientific discoveries published only weeks and months earlier, showing how amazingly designed Earth is for global human civilization. Several attendees told me that it was the most interesting talk they had ever heard. An older lady told me it was the best preventive for dementia. You can watch the talk and the 40-minutes of Q&A that followed here: – Emeritus Lecture with Dr. Hugh Ross, April 12, 2019
