This is Speaking of Faith's Unheard Cuts. I'm Krista Tippett. You're listening to my unedited

conversation with James Moore. He's a Cambridge research scholar who's studied and written

about Charles Darwin for three decades. I spoke with him on May 24, 2006 from the Studios of

American Public Media in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was in the BBC Studios in Cambridge, England.

This interview was included in our program Evolution and Wonder Understanding Charles Darwin.

Hello. Hi, it's Krista Tippett. Is that James Moore?

Hi. I know. Well, I found that there are some advantages to this method.

You don't have to sit up straight. Yeah.

I don't know if you're familiar with the program with speakingoffaith at all.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, let me tell you, you know, we'll send you a couple of CDs if you'd like. We did a

a series on Einstein in the fall, which is similar to what we're going to do with Darwin.

So maybe Jodie can put some CDs in the mail to you.

Well, this is the thing. We have this particular program, like the Einstein program, is funded

with a special grant through the National Endowment for the Humanities.

And what we're doing is looking at historical figures, including some religious figures,

but also figures who are not theologians or religious thinkers, but who've had a legacy

in terms of religious thought. And, you know, how, and so what we will, the program,

it's an hour-long program. As you know, this is not a live interview. And for these NEH programs,

we do a very extensive website as well as the radio show. Yeah.
