David Hutchings

A podcast featuring guests Peter Atkins, David Hutchings, John Lennox, Tim O'Neill, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker, Jennifer Wiseman, and Ros Picard debunking the conflict thesis of religion vs science, exploring the historical relationship between faith and scientific progress, discussing the intersection of faith and science, and reflecting on the limits of scientific inquiry and the persistence of faith among scientists. Plus, a fascinating conversation on innovative wearable technology and its life-saving applications.

My guests today are David Hutchings and James C. Ungureanu, co-authors of Of Popes and Unicorns: Science, Christianity and How the Conflict Thesis Fooled the World. David is a physicist, science teacher and writer and James is a historian of science and religion. In this interview we discuss their book and the origin and impact of the Conflict Thesis - the pervasive but erroneous idea that religion and science have always been in conflict down the ages.To buy the book: Of Popes and Unicorns: Science, Christianity and How the Conflict Thesis Fooled the World .And for debunkings of many of the myths the Conflict Thesis is founded on, see History for Atheists: The Great Myths.
