"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

As the Pope ends his visit to Britain, historian Dr Thomas Dixon delves into the BBC's archive to explore the troubled relationship between religion and science. From the creationists of America to the physicists of the Large Hadron Collider, he traces the expansion of scientific knowledge and asks whether there is still room for God in the modern world.

Can you still give a report even though you don´t watch it live?klr wrote:I'd watch it live and give an immediate report, but the TV is otherwise occupied for that hour. I'm recording it, and will watch it straight after ...

Just watched it - thus my absence here tonight. Nothing added to the 'debate' other than the new science developments are pretty mysterious and that even if science explains 'everything' it still won't provide a reason 'why'. Also the interesting point, (Dawkins dragged in to agree here) that our brains like the idea and thrive on the idea of a god.
Security blanket ftw!

Re: BBC4 Horizon: The End of God - Science v. Religion
It was a good program - better than I expected, given that there's only so much you can cram into a 60-minute program. It put forward all the arguments why religion had answers that science didn't have, and then demolished them one by one. Of course it fudged it right at the end by pointing out that the "why are we here?" question won't go away. Oh well ...
It will be on BBC iPlayer in due course - if you can deceive the IP check. Failing that, I'm sure it will appear on YouTube in due course. The BBC doesn't really seem to care about where its programs end up on the Internet ...

I'm pretty sure this programme is a repeat. One of the others on RatSkep mentioned a part with Dawkins trying on a "God helmet" which I've seen before. It might already be out there on the webs.

... and it's always good to see Brian Cox. You know for sure where his sympathies lie. 
Anyway, here's the iPlayer link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tw1tl
A lot of it is going through archives from old Horizon episodes over the past 40 years or so. It seems to be a new program, especially as some of the archive clips are from episodes earlier this year.Animavore wrote:I'm pretty sure this programme is a repeat.
