SEX, DEATH AND THE MEANING OF LIFE

Wednesday 23rd January at 9.35 pm (55 minutes)
Channel: SBS
(Part 1 of 3) In this thought-provoking series, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins asks if science can provide answers to the big questions we used to entrust to religion. In the first episode, Dawkins examines morality and sin. He asks whether the old religious rules about what is right and wrong are helpful and explores what science can tell us about how to be good. He journeys from riot-torn inner city London to America's Bible Belt, building a powerful argument that religion's absolutist moral codes fuel lies and guilt. (From the UK) (Documentary Series

A reminder for any other Qld hill billies like me that it will be an hour earlier up here. Wouldn't be the first time I have tuned in to see the closing credits
Centauri's might be the safe option

as usual the thinkers are bypassing the hill billy state. Why preach to the converted that's easy, come up here and try a real mental challenge
