Jonathan is joined by astrophysicist Dr Frank Stootman for a discussion about the relationship between Christianity and Science. They cover the origins of the universe, young earth creationism, the place of Scripture in science, fine tuning, the multiverse, Darwin's theory of evolution, change and diversity in nature, naturalism, subjectivism and the rise of science scepticism amongst Christians. Dr Frank Stootman is a retired Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Western Sydney. He is Director of L’Abri Fellowship in Australia: a place where people can receive hospitality and work through questions related to Christianity. He has taught extensively in Australia and internationally on the relationship between Christianity and science. The Political Animals is hosted by Dr Jonathan Cole, an academic, writer, speaker and translator specialising in political theology: the intersection between religion and politics. He is the author of Christian Political Theology in an Age of Discontent: Mediating Scripture, Doctrine, and Political Reality. You can follow Jonathan and the show on Twitter and Facebook.
