#5. Paul Davies & Emily Qureshi-Hurst: Is there purpose in the Universe? Exploring the weirdness of the cosmic and quantum realm.

Is there a purpose to the largest thing of all - The Universe? And does the weird world of the smallest things - Quantum Physics - tell us anything about it?
Atheist theologian Emily Qureshi-Hurst believes the evidence points to a purely physical reality.

In this mind-expanding conversation, they join Justin to explain the science they agree on... and work out where they differ.
