Sir John Polkinghorne was Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Cambridge before becoming an Anglican priest. He is the author of such books as "Questions of Truth: Fifty-one Responses to Questions About God, Science, and Belief" and "Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship".

Polkinghorne embarks to dismantle the concept that science and religion are mutually exclusive ways of life. He says the main problems with this opinion arise from both a misunderstanding of the nature of science and the nature of religion. He explores these two misconceived presuppositions and shows the error that arises when dogmatically sticking to either one of them. It's always great to listen to Polkinghorne as the expertise he's gathered over his career really shines through in his talks. Couple this with a hot topic and a large Q&A session and this talk is more than worth it.
