## In this episode

Neil deGrasse Tyson told Piers Morgan that we do not need to appeal to God to answer cosmological questions because the empirical sciences have demonstrated sufficient explanatory power.

In the final episode of this C.S. Lewis and the News series, I use this exchange as an occasion to discuss Lewis’s thoughts on the supposed challenges that modern science levies against theological explanations of causation.
