This is Unheard Cuts on Being.

I'm Krista Tippett.

You're listening to my unedited conversation

with physicist and theologian, John Polkincorn.

I spoke with him on February 25th, 2005,

at the Studios of American Public Media in St. Paul, Minnesota.

This interview is included in our show Quarks and Creation.

So what we created the show a couple of years ago,

it's fairly new.

We've been a weekly and all over the country

for about 18 months, we're still growing.

We have some funding from Templeton

because we've done some other science and religion programming.

In fact, I did an event with George Ellis

in Philadelphia last year after we won the Templeton Prize.

And so what we're trying to do is say,

this program is called Speaking of Faith,

but it's not really a program about religion

as much as it's a program about life

and all the ways in which religious perspectives are woven in

or have distinctive ways that they can illuminate our thinking.
