Michael Marshall hosted a studio debate on the question 'Is it
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. The panellists dealt with Mike's questions
very well, but he remains a devout atheist.
