Searching for God (And for Scientific Evidence) (feat. Rev. Ben Wyatt)

March 2
1h 7m

Episode Description

Three nerds walk into an Episcopal church… and begin to question whether or not science and religion are compatible. Is that how the joke goes? In this episode, we welcome fellow Episcopalian podcaster (and fellow nerd) Rev. Ben Wyatt to help us tackle our questions about science and Christianity. Ben's degrees in physics, religion, and counseling are put to the test as we grill him on dinosaurs, evolution, and Biblical fundamentalism. We ask questions like… Can I believe in dinosaurs and in Jesus? What is "truth", and how do we find it? How have scientific discoveries influenced the church throughout history? And is Eucharistic Prayer C scientifically accurate? If you're like us, you'll leave this episode feeling slightly less certain but certainly more curious.
