Episode Overview
This first part in the series examines whether science has foreclosed on the possibility of a creator God and, if not, whether it can. The answer on both counts is no. Science is actually having to grapple with the fact that our universe, far from being explicable as a logical or mathematical necessity, is a highly unlikely place. Is this evidence that the laws of nature are a product of design? If so, surely this is indisputable evidence for God. The alternative explanation, that ours is one of an infinite number of universes, poses more problems for science than it solves.
