Religience

There is a moral code which mankind ought to follow. See how this relates to puncturevine and apple trees.

Sir Isaac Newton of days long gone described the rules by which nature governs motion in three laws. They are called appropriately Newton's Laws of Motion. But what do these laws state, and how does that relate to our everyday experience? Listen in as Steven and Nathaniel explain how Newton's Laws apply to the game of fetch and to driving.

A lesson is learned aboard a broken spacecraft. When everything goes wrong all the conditions are right to learn just how heat rises, or doesn't rise.

This retelling of the Apollo 13 mission will allow you to learn something you possibly didn't know about how God's creations work.

Why Religience? Why, as the name suggests, do I feel compelled to talk about both science and religion? Because here we are seeking truth.

Part two of the interview with Alex Walker

In this episode I discuss a famous quote by Einstein to further clarify the relationship between Science and Religion.

During this episode of Religience we join with Jordan Thompson to learn a little about SCUBA diving, its history, dangers and why Jordan loves it.

I hope you enjoy the inverview!

An Earth changing vision, received by a largely uneducated farm boy has implications that can, and will, change the world. In this episode of the religience podcast, be prepared to learn some of the truths that were revealed to mankind through the prayer of a young man by the name of Joseph Smith Jr.

Have you considered how much your culture creates a lens through which you view the world, the truth and other people? In this interview with James Gardner he will share some of his experience in overcoming culture shock and learning to view God's children from all corners of the Earth in the proper light. 

Perhaps the most controversial of all scientific theories for Christians is the theory of Organic Evolution. Is this theory really incompatible with what we believe as Christians? What exactly does the theory consist of? Join Michael Gardner and your host Steven Gardner for a discussion about evolution: What it is, what it isn't and what its implications are for the religious.

This one is an allegory. Listen in. That way you can hear it from the horse's mouth!

No story this week. Except for a personal experience. But we will talk about the Big Bang, and Sulfuric Acid. You can't go wrong with that combination!

What? You can watch a movie of what's outside by doing that? No lenses, no camera, no projector, only a hole in the wall and you can create a projected image? Yep, that is right! Join with Jessica and Billy again on their second adventure in learning about the marvelous world around them and how it works.

That's right! Join Billy and his Sister Jessica to see how they discovered that the idea of suction is based on an incorrect understanding of how things really work.

The story of how one family was able to overcome their challenges in starting a farm. A true story of faith, hard work, and answers to prayers.

God has given us something called Agency, or free will. He will allow us to do what we will to do. But, he also makes it clear that the responsibility for those actions is going to be ours afterward. Some choices will have affects far beyond ourselves. In this episode we look at how a group of scientists (as also the political leaders they acted under the direction of)  exercised this freedom to act. The result of which is one of the most hotly debated topics ever, the nuclear bomb. 

Religience is a podcast where Religious and Science topics are turned into stories that help the listener learn more about the topic. Though many today like to think of Religion and Science as opposing each other that is not the case. Both play a vital role in society and each can balance the other so that neither one "goes off the rails." In the Religience podcast you will hear a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Science Teacher sharing the truths that he has learned to love from his religious and science background. Listen in for a celebration of truth and the methods by which truth is obtained.
