Baha'i Interviewed with Dawkins

Here is a philosophy and science podcast that talks about how people have changed their minds over the past year. It features atheist Dawkins and evolutionary psychologist Pinker, as well as having an interview with a Baha'i cosmologist, Stephen Phelps, about our position on God, science and religion. Interesting when the Baha'i says that God is unknowable and then is asked: how do you know that you do not know? Considering the difficulty of the question, Phelps does pretty well.

The Bahai faith is able to hold 2 positions that are opposites. It holds that God is both unknowable. It also hold that God reveals himself by his messengers, by scripture and by the Universal House of Justice.

Because, through a message, you reveal a part of yourself, you claim that this statement means that the reader understands the whole through this?
