God and the Astronomers

In November and December, many of us slip into a familiar rhythm of renewed focus on our friends, our families, and the things we have faith in. As this particular year draws to a close with several COVID-19 vaccines potentially on the way, it is good to remember that science, too, can be something worth believing in. In this episode we will hear a lecture entitled "God and the Philosophers" from Dr. Robert Jastrow, first chairman of NASA's Lunar Exploration Committee, and founding director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. This lecture, delivered in November 1992, displays a conviction in the importance of dialogue between science and faith that remains vital today.
