The Genealogical Adam and Eve (https://peacefulscience.org/genealogical-adam-eve/) . We are excited to feature him in our first guest interview. In this episode, Patrick (https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/) asks Dr. Swamidass about his faith, his research, and how he reconciles the two. They discuss a wide range of topics, including Genesis, genetics, evolution, AI, and aliens. Patrick asks questions for scientists and non-scientists, for skeptics and believers. Listen to their conversation as they navigate how Christianity and science work together. Be sure to check out Dr. Swamidass's book Peaceful Science (https://peacefulscience.org/author/swamidass/) .
