Jerry Coyne on the Incompatibility of Faith and Science

The University of Chicago

Friday, November 22nd at 7 p.m. at MSU's Freed Curd Auditorium, biologist and professor Dr. Jerry Coyne will offer his presentation "Faith Is Not A Virtue: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible."  He's also the author of the book Why Evolution Is True.  Todd Hatton speaks with Dr. Coyne about science, faith, and his hope for the future.

Todd Hatton hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he got into radio under the auspices of the late, great John Stewart of WKYX while a student at Paducah Community College. He also worked at WKMS in the reel-to-reel tape days of the early 1990s before running off first to San Francisco, then Orlando in search of something to do when he grew up. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Murray State University. He vigorously resists adulthood and watches his wife, Angela Hatton, save the world one plastic bottle at a time.
