Physics, Philosophy, and Theology

from Billboards Hosted by Philosophy Talk

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/physics-philosophy-and-theology. The world disclosed by the physical sciences can seem depressing. Modern physics, for example, has undermined the religious idea that the universe has a spiritual dimension. Quantum physics in particular seems to present the world as more paradoxical than rational. Is there room within – or in addition to – the world presented to us by the physical sciences for ideas such as freedom, dignity, justice, and even God? Or should these all be regarded as useful illusions? John and Ken search the heavens with Tim O'Connor from Indiana University, author of "Theism and Ultimate Explanation: The Necessary Shape of Contingency."
