À propos de cet audio

 Interviews with extraordinary people who have forged their own way and succeeded, will succeed, or barely lived to tell the tale. I will ask questions about how they developed the dream, how they got started, pitfalls they saw and avoided, how they developed necessary skills and knowledge, how they stay sharp and ahead of the game, how they plan to succeed or continue to succeed. It's all about helping you, the audience (and me!) learn from their successes and failures. Remember, foolish people keep making the same mistakes, smart people learn from their mistakes and successes, and extraordinary people learn from the mistakes and successes of both themselves and of others. That is what Dream Chasers and Eccentrics is all about!2023 Art Sciences sociales

  • Can Science and Religion Coexist? Two Similar but Divergent Opinions, Doug Ell

    Can Science and Religion Coexist? Two Similar but Divergent Opinions, Doug Ell
    Mar 12 2026

    Douglas Ell grew up in Connecticut, and graduated early from MIT, where he double majored in math and physics. He then obtained a masters in theoretical mathematics from the University of Maryland. After graduating from law school, magna cum laude, he became a prominent attorney. His legal training and work, combined with his academic science background and a lifetime of independent study, has given him a uniquely grounded approach to science, religion, and philosophy. He is a proponent of Intelligent Design and takes the Bible literally.

    We talk about math and art, physics and how it led him to God, the three laws of thermodynamics, the universe and time, the fine tuning of the universe, why anything exists at all, atheism, Christianity, how all life runs on code (DNA), SETI, evolution and natural selection, entropy, deep time, Carbon-14 dating and rediometric dating, quantum entanglement, intelligent design, suboptimal design, his book Counting to God, the James Webb Telescope, cosmology, and more.
