- For too long, the 'science and religion' debate 👩🔬✝️ has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles, and quantum theory, and not enough on the essence of what it means to be human. This is a mistake argues one of our guests today, Christian academic Nick Spencer, Senior Fellow at Theos, in his new book 📚 'Playing God: science, religion and the future of humanity.' Back on the show is Emily Qureshi-Hurst expert on the philosophy of time ⏳. Emily is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College, University of Oxford and together Nick and Emily sort out the role of science 🔬 and belief 🙏 when it comes to questions of personhood and the future of humanity. Ably led by host Andy Kind, Unbelievable? digs back into that perennial question, 'can science and religion come together - furiously or fruitfully - over the status and nature of what it means to be human'?

Vitality is the opposite of depression, not happiness.
What a shame not to have a Christian viewpoint, that is a viewpoint taken from Scripture, not a viewpoint of someone who says they are Christian.
Humans are the ones who make up gods
They do, in imitation of the God they dare not face. They make up gods they can control
Some even write books to describe there made up gods....like the bible
Notice how rigorous Sharon Dirckx is when she attempts to dismantle and discredit scientific explanations for the particular phenomena being discussed.
Also, like a broken record, she keeps returning to the assertion that "Science doesn't provide us with answers to these sorts of questions"
The question is, precisely how does a theological "Framework" equip her with the tools to answer these questions ? Versus the empirical method, how much explanatory power and scope does a god provide ?
Please forgive we atheists if we don't find a "Framework" which affords the effortless luxury of the one-answer-fits-all; magical, timeless, spaceless being, to be a very honest or satisfying way of tackling such questions !
Have yous seen the one who has taken his own whim as his god, and Allah has misguided him despite his knowledge, and has sealed his hearing and his heart, and has placed a veil over his sight?
Yet more religious BS
@@trevornunn3285 And what are doing ain’t bias⁉️
@@mohamedali2858 Who invented Allah...do you know?
@@trevornunn3285 It is stupidity to focus on what you do not believe in, let go of God because you do not believe and let's talk about what we can agree on me and you and it’s who created the universe and who created you & me this make more sense.
@@mohamedali2858 No. Stupid people believe stupid things. Like a man can go on a flying donkey and cut the moon in half.
Stupid people - they believe stupid things
Humans play god because god doesn’t exist to do it himself
As far as you're currently aware...
Odd that humans seem hell-bent on trying to recreate the conditions found in Heaven (immortality, no death, no pain, infinite bliss, have anything we need). It’s almost as though an orientation to Heaven is inbuilt within us.
That’s quite a bold claim.
@@SirHargreeves It's an orientation toward wishful thinking that existed long before Christianity and its claims about Heaven. Also, those conditions have not been "found" in Heaven. Found implies that this place has been demonstrated to exist.
Except that you know that God does exist.
