Belief in a literal six-day creation, including a literal Adam and Eve, is more associated with evangelical Christianity than with Catholicism. Most Catholic schools teach evolutionary theory as the best and most reliable account of the origin of life and see no conflict between this and orthodox Catholic faith. At the same time, some Catholics still promote a creationist view on the origins of humanity. What does the Catholic Church have to say about this? Are Catholics obliged to believe that Adam and Eve were real people who talked to God, were tempted by a snake, and got cast out of a garden because they ate a forbidden fruit? If so, how does this fit with everything science has to tell us about evolution? And if the church accepts evolution, how does this affect other core Catholic teachings, especially on original sin?   On this episode of the podcast, science writer John Farrell talks about how the Catholic Church has grappled with the challenges posed by evolution over the years, as well as what science has to say on the question of whether Adam and Eve were real.  John Farrell is the author of The Day Without Yesterday: Lemaître, Einstein and the Birth of Modern Cosmology (Basic Books, 2005) and The Clock and the Camshaft: And Other Medieval Inventions We Still Can't Live Without (Prometheus Books, 2020). He has contributed to U.S Catholic and many other publications, including Commonweal, Cosmos Magazine, New Scientist, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Boston Globe, Salon, Forbes and the Tablet of London.  You can learn more about this topic, and read some of Farrell's writing, in these links.  “Do Catholics believe in evolution?” by John Switzer “What is original sin?” by Joel Schorn “Benedict's thinking on creation and evolution,” by John L.

Kathleen Folbigg has been in prison for nearly 20 years, charged with murdering 3 of her children and one charge of manslaughter. While she's been behind bars, genetics research has made exponential leaps. New evidence uncovered by two Danish researchers could prove critical to her case. In this bonus episode courtesy of the Science Briefing, Dr Sophie Calabretto talks to Cosmos Magazine journalist Matthew Agius about this game-changing science that could rewrite the Folbigg story.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.Kathleen Folbigg has served 20 years of a 30-year sentence for killing her four children. She had exhausted all her avenues for appeal. Only after petitioning from grassroots supporters and legal representatives on the basis of new forensic pathology assessments did the New South Wales' Governor open an inquiry into her convictions.That was back in 2019, and despite those new forensic assessments being heard, judicial officer Reginald Blanch was not convinced there was a reasonable doubt cast by that and other evidence.During the course of that inquiry, a rare gene mutation possessed by the Folbigg children was identified by two teams of researchers. One of those teams pursued research into that gene and concluded it would potentially explain the cause of their deaths. That led to New South Wales Attorney-General Mark Speakman opening a second inquiry into Folbigg's convictions, which has finished hearing evidence from the geneticists, plus cardiologists, forensic pathologists, paediatricians, and psychology experts.Quite a lot of science! But science that would not have been heard if not for the state of New South Wales enacting the rare provisions of a Governor's appeal.So, what can be done to make sure new science that's potentially relevant to a case is heard when conventional means of appeal is exhausted.The Australian Academy of Science was granted leave by the commission to appear as an independent scientific advisor to the inquiry.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.Australia is facing its greatest ever engineering skills shortage, according to Engineers Australia.The clean energy transition, major infrastructure projects and emerging sectors like space are increasing demand for engineering skills. Some 50,000 to 100,000 engineers are needed by 2030, just as fewer students, particularly girls, are choosing to enter the profession. Ok it may sound nutty, but could baking, and engineering contestants on shows like Bake Off and Baking Impossible, be key ingredients in helping solve the workforce crisis by improving awareness and perceptions of engineering, and broadening engagement with STEM.Today, Cosmos journalist  Petra Stock talks to engineer, Great British Bake Off winner and now cookbook author Giuseppe Dell'Anno, and Jane MacMaster, Chief Engineer at Engineers Australia.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine websiteSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos podcastsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.This week the Kathleen Folbigg inquiry began again in Sydney. Folbigg was convicted in 2013 for the deaths of her four children.It's a case which has engaged the scientific community, which is interested in how science is treated in the judicial process. And particularly complex science.But what about how scientists themselves perform in court? It's often an alien world but ultimately the scientific process of inquiry and replicating data, should help courts create fairer justice. In this podcast our Digital Editor Ian Mannix talks to Professor Adrian Lineacre, the former head of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Scientists Association, and who now heads the South Australian Justice Chair of Forensic Science at Flinders University, about what happens when scientists are in the dock.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine websiteSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos podcastsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.If we can predict the behaviour of individual molecules, we can do extraordinary things with them. We can desalinate water to almost perfect purity, fine tune batteries to perform as well as possible – and that's just the beginning.But it's really difficult to simulate molecules to enable that prediction. A nearly-invisible microlitre drop of water has 10 billion billion molecules in it, all moving and changing at the speed of femtoseconds.Which is why researchers are using supercomputers to model how molecules move and behave.Today, Cosmos science journalist Ellen Phiddian talks Professor Debra Bernhardt and Dr Emily Kahl, at the University of Queensland, about how they are using the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre to simulate molecular behaviour.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine websiteSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos BriefingsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.Big dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex have been extinct for 66 million years, but it's still fun to think about how they might interact with humans.So, which dinosaur would make a good pet? Honestly, there are many decent options, but how can you look past the king, T. rex?Cosmos journalist Evrim Yazgin recently spoke to world-famous palaeontologist Jack Horner – the inspiration behind Dr Alan Grant in Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic film Jurassic Park. As a researcher from the University of Montana, Horner has spent a lot of time studying some of North America's most famous dinosaurs like T. rex.Horner says that certain biases in how we imagine dinosaurs lived and behaved aren't quite up to date when it comes to the science. Rex, for example, probably wasn't as much a hunter as we might like to believe.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine websiteSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos BriefingsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

NASA is heading back to the moon in the hopes of setting up a colony there.   But this endeavour – called Artemis - has been plagued by delays and the spacecraft remains firmly on the ground.   So, what's going on? Why hasn't it launched yet?  Dr Sophie Calabretto talks to Cosmos Magazine journalist Matthew Agius about the Artemis missions, what's gone wrong so far and when we're likely to a see moon colony become a reality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
