Hour Two:
Religion and Science

Does religion stop at the lab bench? Does science stop at the altar? Are "faith" and "reason" mutually exclusive? Tune into Science Friday and share your thoughts about science, philosophy, and the philosophy of science.

Where has scientific thought come from in the past few hundred years? Where is it going? And who gets to ask these questions, anyway? We've got a panel of thinkers standing by - but we want your thoughts as well, so be sure to listen and call.
