A reprise of a Dick Staub Interview with Dr. John Polkinghorne, author of John Polkinghorne “Faith, Science and Understanding”
Polkinghorne’s PhD in Physics combined with his theological training as an Anglican priest, provide him with a unique vantage point from which to explore the relationship between faith and science. He describes his view of the world as Critical Realism and believes strongly that there is One World, with science and religion both addressing aspects of the same reality. In 2002 was awarded the Templeton Prize for his contributions to research at the interface between science and religion.

In this encore presentation of a Dick Staub Show Interview, we visit with George Smoot soon after he announced his findings confirming the “big bang” theory. Smoot is an American astrophysicist and cosmologist awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics with John C. Mather for “their discovery of the black body form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation”. This work helped cement the big-bang theory of the universe. According to the Nobel Prize committee, “the COBE-project can also be regarded as the starting point for cosmology as a precision science”. He is a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2003 he was awarded the Einstein Medal.
