Gould's two magisteria might inform each other.A physicist makes the scientific case for no God - a NASA scientist says gazing at Saturn's rings is a religious experience - Adam meets Dino in Kentucky's new Creation Museum - and anthropologist Lewis Wolpert explains why the emergence of religion is inevitable.Guests: Lewis Wolpert - Professor of Biology as Applied to Medicine in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology of University College, London, and a Fellow of the Royal Society Victor Stenger - Professor Emeritus of physics and astronomy at the University of Hawaii and a philosopher at the University of Colorado. His most recent book is God: the Failed Hypothesis Frank Tipler - Professor of Mathematical Physics at Tulane University and author of The Physics of Christianity Carolyn Porco - Imaging Team Leader of NASA's Cassini Mission Gordy Slack - science writer in Oakland, California.
