These lively conversations cover the most important and interesting topics imaginable: the Big Bang, the origins of life, the nature of consciousness, the foundations of religion, the meaning of God, and much more. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eAtoms and Eden\u003c\/em\u003e, Peabody Award-winning journalist Steve Paulson explores these topics with some of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time, including Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, E. O. Wilson, Sam Harris, Elaine Pagels, Francis Collins, Daniel Dennett, Jane Goodall, Paul Davies, and Steven Weinberg. The interviewees include Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims, as well as agnostics, atheists, and other scholars who hold perspectives that are hard to categorize. Paulson's interviews sweep across a broad range of scientific disciplines--evolutionary biology, quantum physics, cosmology, and neuroscience--and also explore key issues in theology, religious history, and what William James called ''the varieties of religious experience.'' Collectively, these engaging dialogues cover the major issues that have often pitted science against religion--from the origins of the universe to debates about God, Darwin, the nature of reality, and the limits of human reason.\u003cbr\u003eThese are complex, intellectually rich discussions, presented in an accessible and engaging manner. Most of these interviews were originally published as individual cover stories for \u003cem\u003eSalon.com\u003c\/em\u003e, where they generated a huge reader response. Public Radio's \"To the Best of Our Knowledge\" will present a major companion series on related topics this fall. \u003cbr\u003e A feast of ideas and competing perspectives, this volume will appeal to scientists, spiritual seekers, and the intellectually curious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteve Paulson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Executive Producer of Wisconsin Public Radio's nationally syndicated radio program \"To the Best of Our Knowledge.\" He is a recipient of the Templeton-Cambridge Journalism Fellowship in Science and Religion.
