    At the following link there is a text article including a button
    to play the interview with Adam Hinks, followed by an
    excerpt of an interview with May Doria Russell, author
    of the SF novel The Sparrow, which many refer to as
    Jesuits in Space.

    Wow a really interesting topic.
    I agree with the compatibility and complementarity of science and religion.

    I'll make this point: I think when Dawkins claims religion is the source for conflict and oppression, he misses the point at least about Christianity. Christianity teaches that we live in a broken world where perfection is
    the goal, not an instant characteristic of a new Christian of of the Church.

    Enjoy,
