John D. Barrow

John D. Barrow was a theoretical physicist and cosmologist known for exploring the intersections of science and religion. He discussed how scientific discoveries can influence philosophical and theological ideas, emphasizing that both realms seek to understand our existence and the universe. Barrow posited that while science seeks to explain the "how" of the cosmos through empirical evidence, religion often addresses the "why," seeking meaning and purpose. His work highlighted that the two can coexist and inform each other, fostering dialogue between scientific inquiry and spiritual belief.
