SCIENCE AND THE ULTIMATE QUESTION

And throughout... the ultimate question: what explains our existence? Does science shatter centuries-old beliefs about the reality of the supernatural or, conversely, does scientific investigation provide evidence of a mind behind the universe?

In this series, we explore how answers to the big questions of life – offered by traditional religions of Eastern and Western civilisations – compare, contrast and we ask how religious ideas about a transcendent spiritual reality fare under the spotlight of modern scientific enquiry.
