Spirituality and science are like a cantankerous couple. Each one claims righteous superiority. They bicker and point out each other’s flaws, but every night they sleep in the same bed—your mind. How do they fit together? Do our spirits soar beyond our brains? Is science more than a method? Or is there something essential to each that people need to flourish? To answer these questions, and yours, we’ve assembled a spiritualist and a psychiatrist, a physicist and a priest, and the most listened-to guy in town. Moderated by Ransom Stephens.
