About this listen
Episode 6 of ACF discusses the insights of two biologists who find, at most, metaphorical truth in religious faith, but whose conclusions converge with those who find in faith more than survival or social benefit. Consider this an introduction to Dr Bret Weinstein and Dr Heather Heying, hosts of The Dark Horse Podcast, and several appreciative comments on their book about how to not just survive but thrive in a "hyper-novel" world. To borrow a phrase, we find overlapping wisdom between non-overlapping magisteria.
And along the way, the late comedian Norm MacDonald gets more than a few words in edgewise.
