Rational Faith: What Happens When Science Points To God?

In this deeply personal and intellectually stirring episode, Roots, Rights & Reason host Lee Smith sits down with renowned author and policy analyst Charles Murray to discuss his newest book, Taking Religion Seriously-a courageous exploration of how logic, science, and love led one of America’s leading social scientists to reconsider the divine.

Murray reflects on his journey from secular skepticism to spiritual reverence, recounting the scientific discoveries, philosophical insights, and personal experiences that reshaped his worldview. He describes how empirical evidence from astrophysics to consciousness studies compelled him to confront questions that science alone could not answer.

“If consciousness can exist independently of the brain,” Murray explains, “you have to accept the rather intimidating prospect that you just may have a soul.”

Through their conversation, Smith and Murray examine what happens when science points toward God, and how reason and faith (often cast as opposites ) are in fact two sides of the same pursuit of truth.
