In The Beginning...

Maybe the next thing that will come out of Bible scholarship is that mathematical possibility preceded God:

The Big Bang

I have just watched the first part of a new three part documentary from a Christian perspective arguing that it is possible to believe in evolution and in God. Because of the bias of the documentary (no atheist or agnostic scientists were featured although they were frequently referred to), the makers had no success networking it in the UK (it may network in the US), but it will be available to purchase as a dvd from July 3 and will eventually be streamed online.

It is very beautifully edited by the Farady Institute (which received funding from the Templeton Foundation) with some wonderful visually poetic shots.

However, I was disheartened to hear Katherine Blundell, Professor of Physics at Oxford University, argue in the documentary that science is not able to go further than one second after the Big Bang. Science can't just give up like that! If it hadn't been for the work Stephen Hawking and his colleagues, science would not have known that it could go up to one second after. Don't give up!
