Even as they crafted a faith, Mayan astronomers were coming to understand the movement of the planets and the sun. Those parallel impulses have been woven in most human cultures. For a scientist like Adam Frank, the links between faith and science are strong, but distinct. They are two gateways, he writes, to guide humanity. Frank is an astrophysicist who glimpses truths in the Psalms, the Bhagavad Gita and the equations of Einstein and Newton. The mythic roots of science on the next Weekday.
Plus, a conversation on the week's news in Canada from our Canadian correspondent, Vaughn Palmer, political correspondent for the Vancouver Sun.
