In the first official episode of the Rewrite Tomorrow podcast, I interviewed Dr. Jamie Jensen, a professor of Biology at Brigham Young University. We discuss the supposed conflict between science (especially as it relates to human evolution) and religion.   Dr. Jensen has a fantastic perspective that I hope will inspire Christians who may have historically had a lack of trust in science simply due to a perceived conflict with the Bible to reassess their views and find some peace in reconciliation.
