  • A helpful, quality podcast that explores the intersection of science and Christian faith from a perspective that is for creation care and evolution-affirming.

  • 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.

219. Cool Creatures | Bats
Q: Are you, do you think bats are scary? Are you scared of them at all?
Gus says he is not really scared of bats, although vampire-like bats can seem frightening.
219. Cool Creatures | Bats
Q: Does that make this whole episode, this whole attempt to try to really understand and know bats kind of pointless?
Jim argues that although people cannot fully know a bat's subjective experience, studying bats still matters because they have conscious lives and are fellow mammals with a distinctive way of experiencing the world.
214. Luke Bretherton | Scaling Up Love of Neighbor
Q: What role should science play in understanding what it means to be human, given the concerns about determinism and misused Darwinian logic?
Science can inform but not determine moral ends; theological and philosophical reflection is essential to interpret scientific insights within a relational, covenantal framework.
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.
