Can 'Big Bang' theories of the origins of the universe ever be compatible with a religious view?

In this programme scientists debate these questions, and philosopher Derek Matravers provides an analysis of their arguments and how they are structured as well as examining the idea of faith and whether it can be a form of evidence.

This is of direct use to students of AS Religious Studies AND AS Philosophy. Highly Recommended.

In this two part show, broadcast at Christmas 2006, Richard Dawkins considers his idea that religion, not money, is the root of all evil.

The first episode in particular raises the issue of the Problem of Evil of Suffering and so is of use to RS and Philosophy AS students.

In this show, reportewr Louis Theroux meets the Phelps family, who make up most of the congregation of Westboro Baptist Church.

This church are reknowned for their absolutist morality, especially in relation to sex and sexualities. As a result, aspects of their views could be considered intolerant at the least, downright offensive at worst. A good companion show to Sexual Ethics, or in a discussion of absolutist and relativist values.

In this episode of the popular BBC documentary series, Horizon, from 1987, Richard Dawkins presents a cogent case demonstrating why Darwin provides a better explanation for design in the universe than Paley.

Highly recommended for AS students of Religious Studies or Philosophy.
