CFI Launches Point of Inquiry Podcast

The Center for Inquiry and the Council for Secular Humanism are pleased to announce the premiere episode of our new weekly radio show and podcast, Point of Inquiry. You can listen to it for free online at www.pointofinquiry.org or download it through iTunes or other podcast players. The first episode features commentary by Ben Radford, segments by Tom Flynn and David Koepsell, and DJ Grothe's interview with Paul Kurtz on Science and Religion: Are They Compatible?

Point of Inquiry draws on CFI’s relationship with the leading minds of the day including Nobel Prize-winning scientists, public intellectuals, social critics and thinkers, and renowned entertainers.

Each episode combines incisive interviews, features, and commentary which focus on CFI’s issues: religion, human values and the borderlands of science.

Each week, Point of Inquiry explores CFI’s three research areas: religion and secularism

and alternative medicine.

For the inaugural episode, we are pleased to feature an interview with Paul Kurtz, considered by many the father of the secular humanist movement. In this controversial interview, Paul discusses his views on religion’s antipathy to science and why he thinks science and religion are not compatible.

Dr. Kurtz is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo and the founder and chair of the Center for Inquiry, the Council for Secular Humanism, and the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). He also founded Prometheus Books and has over 40 books and hundreds of articles to his credit. As editor in chief of Free Inquiry magazine, he has advanced a critical, humanistic inquiry into many of the most cherished beliefs of society for the last forty years. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, and has been featured very widely in the media, on topics as diverse as reincarnation, UFO abduction, secular versus religious ethics, communication with the dead, and the historicity of Jesus.
