Dr. JP Moreland tackles the following questions in our interview:

• Why did you write the book Scientism and Secularism?
• What do you mean that Scientism is “the air we breathe”?
• How can we refute scientism in conversation?
  • Scientism is self-refuting.
  • Science relies on philosophical presuppositions that can’t be justified if scientism is true.
  • There are other avenues to knowledge apart from the scientific method.
• Also, why is scientism the enemy of science?
• The following claims are sometimes put forth to show that the mind is nothing more than a physical organ i.e. the brain. How can we respond to claims from neuroscience that purport to show this?
• Also, is there anything we left out you want readers to know?
