In this episode we discuss the prominent figure Francis Collins, an American physician-scientist and evangelical Christian who led the Human Genome Project, and more recently led the National Institute of Health (NIH) and acted as Science Advisor to President Joe Biden. We review a recent interview he gave to the ‘Re-enchanting’ podcast with Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall following the publishing of his latest book ‘The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith & Trust’. We discuss the dangers of ‘celebrity Christians’, blindly following ‘The Science’, and the accusations made towards those who question the established narrative in their search for truth. We finish with a warning from Jesus in Luke 6:24-26.
