Developments in STEM fields, science, technology, engineering, and math affect our world on a daily basis, but the path to success is sometimes unexpected. These journeys of progress take “faith” (religious or not), because the developer has to believe in a result that is not yet seen. These are the journeys we hope to explore in our podcast. They are the unexpected STEM and faith stories.
Co-hosts, speculative fiction author and screenwriter, Ann Clark McFarland, and her husband, Dr. Tim McFarland will interview guests about discoveries and innovations in their STEM fields.
The podcast name, Paradoxifi, comes from the idea that sometimes what is proposed- “IF I do this ….then this will happen” – turns out to be successful only after an alternate course is followed. Then, it is that new journey that brings out the desired truth.
Every episode starts with a riddle or question, and listeners try to solve it. The answer will be given during the show.
Although guests primarily talk about their STEM subjects during the bulk of the show, at the end they will answer four predetermined questions about faith. The occasion gives opportunity for guests to express in their own words their view of faith. The goal is simple expression of perspective or experience and not an argument or an attempt to convert. A wide variety of guests and faith/or atheist views will be expressed. (Faith itself is a paradox. Although unseen, to people of faith, it is very real.)
We hope that by sharing these unexpected STEM and faith stories we will provide examples of how people, inventions, and discoveries survived, thrived, and even changed through unexpected times.
