Religion and Science
Chris Harding asks Nicholas Spencer why he thinks we've got the relationship between science and religion all wrong.
Nicholas Spencer, Emily Qureshi-Hurst and Philip Ball join Christopher Harding for a conversation about the nature of reality – as science reveals it, as religion reveals it, and how the world might look if we treat science and religion not as competitors but as collaborators; a cosmic dynamic duo.
Magesteria: The Entangled Histories of Science and Religion by Nicholas Spencer is out now.
Producer: Ruth Watts
