For those of you who have not listened yet, the second episode of Point
of Inquiry is now online. This episode features an interview with Dr.
Joe Nickell on the difference between skeptical inquiry and debunking
and the first of a two part series with Tom Flynn on The Trouble with
Christmas. Our premiere episode from December 12th features an
interview with Dr. Paul Kurtz on why science and religion are not
compatible.
Point of Inquiry is the Center for Inquiry’s radio show and podcast,
drawing on CFI’s relationship with the leading minds of the day
including Nobel Prize-winning scientists, public intellectuals, social
critics and thinkers, and renowned entertainers. Each episode combines
incisive interviews, features and commentary focusing on CFI’s issues:
religion, human values and the borderlands of science. Point of Inquiry
explores CFI’s three research areas:
1. Pseudoscience and the paranormal (bigfoot, UFOs, psychics,
communication with the dead, cryptozoology, etc.)
2. Alternative medicine (faith healing, homeopathy, belief in “healing
touch,” the efficacy of prayer, etc.)
3. Religion and secularism (church-state separation, the effects and
proper role of religion in society, the future of secularism and
nonbelief, etc.)
