Did you know the "war" between science and faith was entirely invented by two guys in the 1800s? We've been taught that religion and science are in a constant cage match, but history tells a completely different story.

In this episode of the Good Faith podcast, we dismantle the myth of the "conflict thesis" created by John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White. We uncover how the Cistercian monks were actually the industrial engineers of the 12th century, why the infamous Galileo affair was more of a political PR disaster than a war on science, and how the father of the Big Bang was actually a Catholic priest. Join us as we explore Francis Bacon's "Two Books" metaphor and look at modern scientific titans like Francis Collins to see why science and faith are meant to be lifelong partners, not bitter enemies.
