THE GREAT RECONCILIATION:

Science and Being (First Person, NPR)

This hour of First Person explores the fascinating, expanding conversation between science and religion. How do science and religion inform our understanding of what it means to be human? What does this mean for a cancer researcher who is also a Talmud scholar, a computer scientist who is also a theologian, and an Anglican priest who is also a geneticist? We talk to three scientists about science and being.

Guests:
Carl Feit, a cancer researcher and a scholar of the Talmud.

Anne Foerst, a computer scientist and theologian, is the former theological advisor in the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, which is building a new generation of human-like robots.

Lindon Eaves, the Anglican priest and geneticist, whose long-term studies of twins tell us much of what we know about "nature vs. nurture."

The audio's available and the show was very interesting. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 15, 2002 9:55 AM
