About this episode
Psychologist Dave DeSteno joins Rainn Wilson to discuss the intersection of science and the existence of God.
Is God real, and can science ever prove it? Psychologist Dave DeSteno joins us to unpack why the “Does God exist?” debate might miss the point, and what research actually shows about prayer, meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and religious community.
