AtlLiberal says: Set your TEVO for this rare event. Should prove to be interesting. PBS is going to lose their funding for sure now. PZ Says It's less an advocacy of atheism than a kind of post-atheism, a historical and philosophical review of this strange, dying idea of "religion" that reveals the progressive growth of atheistic thought. It's wonderfully dismissive. The real question isn't how people can disbelieve, but how faith can survive and still linger on. grrr... not showing up on my program guide!!! http://www.pbs.org/tvschedules/ Look for Bill Moyers' program—that's where it's supposed to be shown. Thanks, Lacym The entire show can be watched (in three parts) at veoh.com: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v290167nBNFCMmq http://www.veoh.com/videos/v290939G3cdaPWh http://www.veoh.com/videos/v2901107jearSnF Miller is an engaging host and drops insights and personal details throughout. One of his main arguments is that it was primarily the increase in the quality of 18th- and 19th-century philosophic reasoning that eventually broke the grip of state-sponsored religious domination, more so than the contemporaneous rise of science...which is surprising given that he was a physician himself. Recommended. Thanks Kore7! I'm downloading now. |
