Science Denial Among Evangelicals - Janet Ray

Why do so many evangelicals deny vaccine science? Why are so many suspicious of the science behind climate change? Why do most evangelicals reject theistic evolution? Michael talks to Janet Kellogg Ray to get answers.

This evangelical antipathy to modern science turned deadly during the COVID-19 crisis when white evangelicals snubbed precautions and vaccines. Herself a science educator and Christian who attends an evangelical church, Ray explains how we got here and how to fix it.

We talk about everything from the creation-evolution debate and intelligent design theory to the evidence behind the efficacy of the Covid vaccines, including debunking many conspiracy theories surrounding the pandemic. Ray's book, The God of Monkey Science (Amazon), covers all this and includes more about climate science and climate change denial.
