Episode Summary

He edited Harper's. He almost lost his faith to cancer and the new atheists. Now he's written a book called Why I Am Not an Atheist — and he's not backing down from the hard questions.

Christopher Beha joins Jim to go toe-to-toe on Darwin, the Big Bang, and where science hits a wall it can't get past. They talk truth, doubt, AI's grip on our attention, and why "love your neighbor" is easier to preach than practice.

If you've ever wrestled with faith, doubt, or just wanted someone to admit they don't have all the answers — this one's for you.
