Professor Tim Coulson - The Universal History of Us

Welcome back, seekers, skeptics, and believers, to another thought-provoking series of The UnShaw Podcast!

If you joined us for Series 1, you’ll know this podcast is all about tackling life’s biggest mysteries and the age-old questions that have puzzled humanity for millennia: Is there a God? Was Jesus divine? Do we need a higher power to explain the universe? How did life truly begin, and what sparked the birth of the cosmos itself? You know, just the light stuff.

In this opening episode of Series 2, I’m thrilled to be joined by none other than Professor Tim Coulson, a leading expert in evolutionary biology from Oxford University. He's recently written a book "The Universal History Of Us".

Together, we’ll explore the origins of life, the role of natural selection, and whether modern science can offer insights into these ultimate questions. Can Professor Coulson, with his extensive knowledge of zoology and evolutionary theory, shed light on whether a divine explanation is necessary—or if science alone can unravel the mysteries of our existence?

Prepare for a fascinating and awe-inspiring discussion!
