Contributions Science Can and Cannot Make in Understanding Morality | Dr. David Lahti, Episode 272

Published 2 years ago
Description

"...in no way could [the theory of evolution] replace, much less undermine, morality," says Dr. David Lahti, Assistant Professor of Biology at Queens College, City University of New York.

In this episode, Gabe has a fascinating conversation with David, covering everything from the learned behaviors of birds and what makes birds happy to why young people are leaving the church. They dive into the age-old nature-nurture debate and discuss why scientism cannot explain away morality.

Tune in to hear more about Dr. Lahti's research and the complexities he's found at the intersection of idealism, scientism, and cultural relativism.
