Listen Later

Dr. Sharon Dirckx is a speaker and author trained in neuroscience, who speaks internationally on topics such as science and theology, human consciousness, and the problem of evil. She has appeared on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and has also written for The Times. Her books include: Broken Planet, Why, and Am I Just my Brain - which this interview focuses on.
Here are some of the questions we explore in this conversation:
— The mind-body problem - how could a mindless universe produce conscious beings?
— Sharon’s views on the explanatory power of panpsychism
— How can we make sense of the immense suffering in the world and natural disasters
— How our image of God impacts our mental health and wellbeing.
And more.
