Bonnassies, coauthor of French bestseller, interviewed on Humanize
The science world appears to be moving away from the assertive atheism of James D. Watson, who died earlier this monthA downloadable audio file is available from Humanize of an interview with Olivier Bonnassies, author with Michel-Yves Bolloré of God: the Science, the Evidence (2025), which just became available this fall in English.

In God: The Science, The Evidence, Bonnassies and Michel-Yves Bollore argue that science is in the midst of a “great reversal” in which the supposedly incompatible realms are becoming mutually reinforcing.
Bonnassies is a science writer, an entrepreneur, and a graduate of Polytechnique and the Institute of Catholique de Paris. An unbeliever until the age of twenty, he is the author of books, videos, scripts, articles, newsletters, and websites on subjects related to faith and reason.
“Olivier Bonnassies and Brian Miller on the Scientific Evidence for God,” November 10, 2025
The host is Wesley J. Smith and they are joined by Brian Miller, Research Coordinator for Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture.
Moving away
The science world seems to be moving away from James D. Watson (1928–2025) and “Every time you understand something, religion becomes less likely.” Many gifted scientists are beginning to see the matter quite differently.
See, for example: Physicists: Math shows that the universe can’t be a simulation. The physicists argue that pure information underlies the universe of matter and energy, as a Platonic realm of ideas. We seem a long way now from the once-dominant science view of eliminative materialism in which even human consciousness was not considered real.
Wesley Smith notes: “This episode of Humanize is sponsored by Palomar Editions, publisher of God: The Science, The Evidence. The questions are my own.”
