from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

Astrophysicist Marcelo Gleiser was recently awarded the Templeton Prize for his work in physics and cosmology, and the meaning and mystery in science and faith. As an agnostic, he made headlines by saying that ‘atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method’. He engages with Catholic scientist Stacy Trasancos, author of ‘Particles of Faith’, on the limits of what science can tell us and whether the Universe points beyond itself to a creator.  For an exclusive 10% discount on Unbelievable? the Conference 2019 tickets (till 20 June) use promo code SPEAKTRUTH at checkout: http://www.premierchristianradio.com/unbelievableconference  Get signed copies of Unbelievable? the book and audiobook here.  For more faith debates visit the Unbelievable? show page here.
