Title: the end of god
Post by: Too Few Lions on November 17, 2011, 12:18:10 PM
I saw this on BBC4 last week, I don't know if anyone else caught it. It was a really interesting Horizon documentary on the conflict between science and religion, and how science is starting to explain the belief in god and also fill in those gaps in scientific theories where believers like to claim he still lurks. It's a really good documentary, using footage from over 30 odd years of 'Horizon' TV shows, and seeing Richard Dawkins don the 'God helmet'  is worth the admission price alone!

sorry to all the non-UK folks, I think you'll have to use a proxy server if you want to watch it.

Yes, I saw it and thought it was good.  Bit by bit plugging away at the gaps, as TFL says.  It was a bit self-congratulatory, but made the point that  Horizon has consistently been on the right side.

See if your parents will stump up the monthly cost of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and get it based in the UK then you can get the BBC iPlayer and More 4 plus some others.
