  • Applauds Science & The Cross

    This podcast is a breath of fresh air for those in the Christian fold who wish to engage in science and/or disciplines informed by science. Helps keep me centred when I am discouraged by, at times, the appalling lack of understanding or willingness to engage in environmental, medical, or other scientific topics that one commonly encounters with evangelicals. Keep up the great work.

  • Excellent, Timely, and Informative

    Thank you for your discussions and interviews regarding science and faith. As a Christ follower who believes in science, I'm very disillusioned by what the American (white) conservative evangelical subculture (of which I was a part for 35 years) has become and how there's been so much extremist politics and denial of good science, like with vaccines and the need to combat climate change. Your program and organization are greatly needed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

212. Alister McGrath | C.S. Lewis & Science
Q: Can you unpack your view of Lewis's use of stories, and what that adds to his scientific and religious thinking?
Stories are a natural human way to explore complex realities and to engage the imagination; they help illustrate models of reality, make people receptive to ideas, and allow readers to suspend disbelief to follow a line of thought, especially in discussing science and faith.
212. Alister McGrath | C.S. Lewis & Science
Q: Why do you think it is that Lewis has not been widely recognized as a scholar of science and religion, or included in many of the contemporary debates about science?
McGrath attributes this to Lewis being seen as a popular writer rather than a technical scientist, and to a tendency to caricature his work as simplistic. He notes Lewis's deep engagement with the cultural and historical dimensions of science, which has been underappreciated in some debates.
212. Alister McGrath | C.S. Lewis & Science
Q: All right. Well, very good. Well, we are here to talk about your newest book, Science and Religion in the Imagination of CS. Lewis. You've always been something of a Lewis buff. So how did the two of these come together for a book-length treatment of CS. Lewis on science and religion?
McGrath explains the impetus came from a colleague suggesting a project; Lewis is explored as a humanities scholar whose approach to science blends literary and theological insights. The book argues science is one part of a broader set of tools for understanding the natural world, not a sole arbiter of truth, and Lewis's imagination helps illuminate how we test and interpret scientific ideas.
OCEANS MONTH! 143. The Ocean Declares | Horseshoe Crabs, Hospitality & Creatureliness
Q: Hey, Michaela, what are we doing here? Can you describe this process?
Michaela explains that they are conducting horseshoe crab surveys along the Indian River Lagoon, tagging a subset of crabs to collect basic data (age, sex, size) and track movement and population trends for future study.
208. NT Wright | New Creation Breaking In
Q: How should Christians understand the relationship between the past and the future?
The past centers on Jesus and the Spirit; the future is God's renewal of creation, and believers participate in that renewal here and now through acts of justice, care, and worship.
