Many people think faith is naive – childish – superstitious a pre-science space. The idea that science has replaced religion is often left unchallenged by believers.  In this podcast episode, we explore how science and religion ask different questions. Science is about the exploration of our reality, the world we can measure and observe.  Science asks the what and when questions. Whereas religion explores the how and why questions. Nothing dependent within the universe can cause the universe.  We discuss Peter Kreeft's defense of God from the stance of human desire. We explore human values we take for granted, originating in Judeo-Christian values of the dignity and equality of the person. We discuss the natural tension between reason - rationality and the reason of the heart or intuition and hope are needed in a journey of faith and both are deeply human.
