Francis Collins and Marc Siegel say medicine is a gift from God

December 17, 2025

Religion and science can often seem in opposition, at least culturally. But they don't have to be, say Marc Siegel and Francis Collins.

Siegel, who is a physician and a senior medical analyst at Fox News, has recently published a new book, "The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing," in which he tells stories of unexpected — miraculous, he says — recoveries.

On this episode of the "First Opinion Podcast," host Torie Bosch speaks with Siegel and Francis Collins — former director of the National Institutes of Health and the author of "The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief." They discuss the intersection of faith and science, particularly the ways that some Christian communities have increasingly become skeptical of medicine like vaccines.
