Are there questions that science alone cannot answer? Might faith in God be the missing piece? Oxford mathematician John Lennox sits down with Brian Greene to explore humanity’s biggest questions, from the origins of modern science to the nature of consciousness, the meaning of life, and what it means to live in a word-based universe. Lennox argues that while blind faith is baseless, evidence-based faith has a role in both science and religion. He argues that the biblical worldview was the very foundation that made modern science possible, that mathematics reveals a universe grounded in divine intelligence, and that the questions transhumanists are racing to answer were settled 2,000 years ago. Greene brings the skeptical physicist's perspective, pressing on where God comes from, whether faith is truly evidence-based, and what it means to find meaning and wonder in a purely physicalist universe.
