Bridging Creation and the Big Bang with Brian Cranley

About this episode

The episode explores the connection between creation and the Big Bang with insights from Brian Cranley.

In this episode we try to bridge creation and the big bang with Brian Cranley. We get insight in his book The call of wonder, his inspiration and how he structured a book bridging the belief in a monetheisitc God, philosophical argumentation and natural science. One of the main dilemma is how to connect this notion of a God with a religous thought system and the how this phenomena is presented trough out such a system.
