Episode 17: Laura Upenieks, Factors that Shape Views on Science and Faith

Dr. Laura Upenieks, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Baylor University discusses her work investigating the intersection of religious belief, religious practice, and attitudes toward science. In particular, she delves into the factors that shape how young people view matters of faith and science. She discusses how the level of perceived conflict is related to the level of trust individuals have in both scientists and religious leaders. With trust in authority continuing to erode throughout society in general, she offers possible ways to approach young people to build the connections that are necessary to help them better integrate faith and science.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
