Did anyone catch this? Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks sequentially debates 4 "critics" on various subjects around religion.
Personally, I thought it was terrible. The piece was cast as a heroic Rabbi defending himself (he use the phrase "under siege from atheists and sceptics"), which I found slightly inappropriate. The arguments exchanged in the first two debates were in my opinion, weak, non contentious, and hardly critical. Professor Colin Blakemore gave a good account of himself, but there was not much rejoinder except outright denial. The last section was simply a standard question of evil debate brought by Professor Lisa Jardine, predictably, no answers were satisfactorily given.
Anyone else see this? It is on iplayer for those of us in the UK.
I shall watch that at lunch and report back.
Quite surprised I missed this!
Thank you for posting. I would hope this program is part of a series because I ended up being not that satisfied.
For a BBC product... I'm unimpressed. Very unimpressed.
Thank god, I thought I was being overly critical.
