"Modern science teaches us that anything can be explained in terms of atoms and forces, including the inner workings of the brain. But certain personal experiences can challenge the idea that there's nothing beyond inert matter. Communing with nature, working through a complex problem, or experiencing a piece of art, we sometimes feel a powerful sense of transcendence, of connecting with a cosmic unity that may seem unexplainable by science. But according...

If ever God had an undertaker, it surely must be Charles Darwin. Yet, says his biographer James Moore "Darwin was never really an atheist". He has, nevertheless, become its patron saint. The evidence for evolution is compelling. Indeed its achievements lead to underlying questions about why it is so successful if there is no over-arching mind. In this episode, champions of the view that Darwin has buried God, clash with their theistic counterparts....

More than half a century has passed since the Scopes trial created deep divisions between the religious and scientific communities centering on arguments over evolution. In the intervening years, the two severely divided camps found areas on which they could agree; the "big bang" theory, for example, was no longer considered to be in conflict with the biblical story of creation. Recently, however, a movement toward more conservative religious views...
