Show Summary

Guests: Michael Shermer and Ben Wiker

Is morality a God-designed blueprint for human conduct that leads to the greatest ultimate happiness? Or did morality evolve because it favored human survival? Can science show us the source of morality as well as its intended purpose? The author of The Science of Good and Evil: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share and Follow the Golden Rule believes it can. Join Rick and Lael as they interview Michael Shermer, America’s leading skeptic and Dr. Ben Wiker, author of Moral Darwinism.
