Publisher's Synopsis
Is God a delusion? Are science and Christian faith incompatible? This visually stunning, award-winning, three-part documentary uses interviews with top scientists and theologians to introduce some big questions: Part 1: Are science and Christianity in conflict? Has the Big Bang pushed God out of the universe? Part 2: What does 'creation' mean? Is evolution compatible with religious faith? Part 3: Are humans no more than biological machines? What does it mean to be made 'in the image of God'? There are many challenging issues raised by the sciences, but the overall message of thedocumentary is that science is compatible with genuine faith in God.
