Although many people argue science and religion are incompatible, Stephen M. Barr thinks otherwise. A member of the American Physical Society, Barr is an accomplished theoretical particle physicist. He's also a practicing Christian and the author of several books on the relation between science and faith. In this episode of BaerTalk, Prof. Barr explains why those who suppose science is opposed to religion are mistaken. He discusses the scope and limit of scientific investigation, and considers the ways in which modern physics lends support to cosmological arguments for God's existence.
