Episodes
Is it possible to reconcile meaning, purpose and perhaps even God with the workings of a purely material universe? A physics professor and a documentary filmmaker set out to do just that. Can one defend meaning and purpose in life from reductionist science if God is not part of the argument?
In a material world true knowledge can come from the things we can see, hear and touch. But are there other truths we can discover which come from pure thought or imagination?
Is it possible that science can tell us what is and isn't moral or do moral truths lie outside of science? In every culture in every age we have always felt we were moral, but do our animal instincts and desires make that an illusion?
Light and dark. Life and death. Opposites imposed by the universe itself. But what of good and evil? Are these ideas humans have created for themselves? Or are they, perhaps, a fundamental part of the universe, like north and south?
This series asks if we are really creatures who seek mean.
