Mike Marshall’s Daily Controversy: Is It Possible to Be a Scientist and Religious?

Synopsis: Video recording of a debate held at the BA Festival of Science 2006 in which Michael Marshall asks whether it is possible to be a scientist and religious? He was joined by Dr Denis Alexander and Professor Bob White from the University of Cambridge, and Professor John Durant, head of the MIT Museum, all of whom combine careers in science with Christianity. They discussed whether science and religion contradict each other, whether they involve fundamentally different ways of thinking and why it is that they so often seem to be at each other’s throats.
