Episode notes

There's this notion of like, one thing it says, if you do good, then bad things won't happen to you. The next page is like the book of Job, the guy who's doing it. And so it just strikes me that this type of reconciling difficult, potentially contradictory beliefs is part of the scientific enterprise as well. So arguably, both science and religion require faith, both deal with doubt.

This program was recorded at a Veritas Forum event on University of Washington in 2019. The original title was, "Does Science Point to Atheism?" and featured Satyan Devadoss, University of San Diego Professor, and Conor Mayo-Wilson, University of Washington Professor.
