| Summary |
*Coarse Language*Three out of five scientists do not believe in God, saying that religion actively subverts science and saps the intellect. And for years, religion felt the same way about science - most famously when Galileo faced the Inquisition and was forced to retract his 'heretic' theory that the Earth revolved around the sun. But lately Pope Francis has gone some way to bringing the two camps together by declaring that the theory of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not "a magician with a magic wand". Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator - arguing instead that they require it. But is this enough to convince atheists, or is it just a rationalisation?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Production Credits: A High Wire Films Production. Written, narrated and produced by Adam Zwar.
