Is there a connection between climate crisis and viruses? Can science explain "miraculous healings"? Is God morally "good" and where do we get our reference point for "goodness"? How should we approach the "genocide" passages in the Bible? Do humans have souls? What about clones? Virologist and theologian Dr Mirjam Schilling answers questions asked by a live audience at Holy Trinity Church, Aylesbury. This show was recorded in partnership with Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ.

🎙️ Today we venture into the intersection of science and faith with Dr. Mirjam Schilling, a postdoctoral virologist and DPhil student in Science and Religion at the University of Oxford. With her unique background in virology and theology, Dr. Schilling grapples with profound questions about the nature of suffering, the existence of God, and how scientific insights can reshape our understanding of good, evil, and the very fabric of life itself. 🌿🧬
As both a scientist and a believer💡Dr. Schilling brings a fresh, nuanced perspective on how viruses—often seen as agents of chaos—can spark meaningful conversations around theodicy, human identity, and the age-old dilemma of why suffering exists. Through the lens of her research, she reveals how these tiny organisms challenge our perceptions of order in creation, while also illuminating credible and scientific reasons to believe in the Christian God in the midst of uncertainty.
🔍 Join us for Part 1 of this captivating conversation, where Mirjam's journey—studying the immune system’s battle with viruses and their theological significance—invites us to rethink some of life's biggest questions. If you’ve ever pondered how science and faith coexist, or why we experience suffering, this episode is for you!
