Airs weekdays at noon
On today’s show, Francis Collins, a former head of the Human Genome Project, talks about reconciling scientific knowledge with religious faith.

And director Stuart Cooper tells us about the current run of his 1975 WWII film, “Overlord.” Plus, we’ll find out how German saboteurs blew up a small island in New York Harbor in 1916.
Science and Faith
Francis Collins, a former head of the Human Genome Project, explains how he reconciles his scientific knowledge with his religious faith. In The Language of God, he argues that his work is not only a testament to modern science--it’s evidence of the way God works.
