Some view science and religion as diametrically opposing disciplines. But Krista Tippett believes that the two can inform each other through a rich dialogue that helps people live deeper, more fulfilling lives. Her book Einstein's God collects her conversations about the interplay of science and religion with figures such as physicist Freeman Dyson, Darwin scholar James Moore, and surgeon Mehmet Oz. The host of public radio program Speaking of Faith joins Larry to discuss her exploration of spirituality and intellect.
