In this episode host Bokara Legendre explores the origins of the universe and of life on earth with Cosmologist Dr. Brian Swimme and Professor of Religion, Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker. Over lunch, Bokara takes on some of the "big questions" about human existence and our role and purpose in the cosmos. What is the scientific explanation of the creation of the universe? Is western science's so-called "quantum vacuum," just another creation myth? If so, how does it compare with the creation myths of other societies and belief systems?
