This week’s ‘Live Wire’ discusses the relationship between science and religion

The answers to the big questions by their very nature provoke strong reactions. The debate over the right way to find those answers is no less contentious. Out of this landscape has emerged the discussion over the relationship between science and religion. Can they coexist? What role do they have in public policy? What should be taught in schools?

College of Education Professor Ian Binns follows these questions closely. His blog, “Evidence and Belief” challenges the perception that religion and science are incompatible. Tune in to “The Livewire,” Inside UNC Charlotte’s streaming webcast, Thursday at 2 p.m., as Dr. Binns discusses his research, and why he says science and faith isn’t an either/or proposition.
