The Call of Wonder: Faith, Science, Mystery and Why We Still Reach for the Infinite

A wide open conversation with Brian Cranley about his book The Call of Wonder, the Big Bang, Aquinas, beauty, doubt, reason, and why mystery still outpaces logic.

What if the human mind was shaped not to solve the universe but to stand in awe of it?

That is the central spark in this conversation with Brian Cranley, author of The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Image.

Brian is a biomedical engineer who almost became a Catholic priest, left seminary to start a family, returned to medical science, and then wrote a book that tries to reconnect faith with rational inquiry.

This episode opens a door into the places where belief meets physics, and where philosophy meets the observable universe. The result is not a debate but a search. Why do human beings feel an unshakable attraction to mystery? Why do we keep reaching for meanings we know cannot end?
