Can you be scientist AND a devout Christian?
This was one questions that came up in a fascinating new conversation between the new science advisor to President Biden, Francis Collins, and our favourite physicist, Brian Greene.
The conversation is an insight into how Collins came to be one of the most influential scientists alive today, and how he went from being an atheist to a Christian, when it usually happens the other way round!Brian, on the other hand, is a pretty outspoken atheist, maybe not Dawko level, but definitely a known atheist. Atheists sometimes get a bad rap as being militant, but in this conversation you can see how it’s possible to have an open discussion about creationism, without anyone getting offended. YES- IT IS POSSIBLE! This open discussion and respect for science is something we’re all about at Think Inc.
If you’re the same, come join our fam. Don’t miss your opportunity to come and see Brian Greene speak live in June this year. While it’s going to be a pretty nerdy affair, Brian also loves discussing philosophy, art and culture- so there’s going to be something for everyone. Tickets are at the link in our bio.
