ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I explore the themes of science, faith, and belief through the lens of the film Contact. The discussion looks at how the story challenges the divide between evidence and personal experience, particularly when the film’s scientist protagonist finds herself defending something she cannot prove. Along the way, the episode reflects on how people understand scientific knowledge, why debates about design and evolution persist, and how both believers and non-believers search for meaning in the universe.
