Summary

In a world splintered by distrust across science, faith, and politics, is it possible to find common ground on the sources of true wisdom? Dr. Francis Collins, a world-renowned geneticist and Christian, believes we must, and his new book, The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust, aims to rekindle these values. Collins argues that a foundation of humility, truth, and morality — not partisan loyalty — should guide our judgement. But in an age where allegiance often outweighs evidence, can this vision truly take hold? In this episode of Premier Unbelievable, Collins squares off with Phil Halper, atheist scientist and creator of Before the Big Bang, to probe the limits of science and the necessity of faith. Together, they’ll tackle pressing questions: Can faith and science coexist without compromising truth? How does trust (or lack of it) contribute to today’s social and political divides?Is it possible to transcend polarization and rebuild a fractured world? Whether you're a person of faith, a skeptic, or simply searching for answers in a turbulent world, this episode offers a deep dive into the limits of science, the necessity of trust, and the pursuit of wisdom. Can Collins' vision inspire change, or are we too entrenched to move forward? 🔔 Subscribe and hit the notification bell for more! 👉 Join the conversation and access exclusive content at www.premierunbelievable.com! 🎉📢 SOCIAL LINKS Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefe Facebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate
