Coaches Corner - Understanding (17:22) The conflict between science and religion has a long history. For example Galileo was condemned for his belief that the Earth and planets revolve around the sun. Dr. Matt Townsend shares his ideas on how these two areas of thought can coexist and benefit each other. Spirituality and Science (1:13:57) Dr. Anthony Jack is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Case Western Reserve University College of Arts and Sciences. He co-authored the recent study: “Why Do You Believe in God? Relationships Between Religious Belief, Analytic Thinking, Mentalizing and Moral Concern”. Scientific and Spiritual approaches can often collide head to head. It is possible, that the conflict between the two is actually rooted in our brains. Dr. Jack explains. What About Baseball?
