EP56: Jerry Coyne: Why Science & Religion Are Incompatible

In this episode, we are joined by the renowned evolutionary biologist and New York Times-bestselling author of Why Evolution is True, Jerry Coyne. Jerry is currently a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, and recently published Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible. We talked about what science is, how it works, what people most misunderstand about it, and why the very concept of faith is fundamentally unscientific. We also talked about some of the scientific claims in religious scriptures. Don't miss this.
