Reductionism

The Science and Faith team are back with a brand new series! We kick off this season with an episode on reductionism. While reductionism has become an accepted term in academia, it is nowhere near to the way people live their lives. One would intuitively think that human existence is more than just physical existence - but where does that inner human desire come from? And is it true or just an illusion?

We also explored whether Biology can be reduced to Physics, to what extent this approach is helpful for Science, what are the limitations of a reductionist way of thinking, and how God fits into this picture. In order to tackle those questions, and many more, we invited 2 guest speakers; Fr Mariusz Tabaczek a Dominican theologian specialising in science-theology dialogue and Professor Wilson Poon, physicist and Professor in Natural Philosophy.

Are we nothing but a bunch of atoms?
