Krista Tippett & Andrew Solomon on Einstein’s God
We just got a note from The New York Public Library about an interesting event its hosting tomorrow at 7 p.m.:
Einstein’s self-described “cosmic religious sense” is intriguingly compatible with 21st-century sensibilities and will be the starting point for a discussion between Krista Tippett and Andrew Solomon, instigated by Paul Holdengräber.
Andrew Solomon has argued that science and humanism are two different vocabularies for a single set of phenomena, and that understanding order through the laws of mathematics and understanding order through faith in life’s underlying purpose are really an identical exercise. Solomon is one of the thinkers in Tippett’s book, Einstein’s God: Conversations about Science and the Human Spirit, which draws on her radio conversations to explore an emerging interface of inquiry—if not answers—between many fields of science, medicine, theology, and philosophy.
