You will get to hear the inside story of this ex-evangelical scientist's changing relationship to science and the church he first knew.

The topics we cover are wide-ranging and include: Physics & Cosmology the Multiverse (and his skepticism) the fine-tuning of the universe chance, randomness, and divine action (the lack of a) literal Adam and Eve life after evangelicalism LGBTQ equality in the church evangelical anti-intellectualism Dr. Giberson holds a PhD in Physics from Rice University.
