'As the Pope ends his visit to Britain, historian Dr Thomas Dixon delves into the BBC's archive to explore the troubled relationship between religion and science. From the creationists of America to the physicists of the Large Hadron Collider, he traces the expansion of scientific knowledge and asks whether there is still room for God in the modern world.'It takes less than a minute to see what side the BBC is on in the debate between religion and science, just look at the actors chosen to play the parts of Thomas Huxley (honest, fair-minded, modern, trustworthy) and the Bishop of Oxford (superior, dressed oddly, oddly accented) and their mannerisms.
This subject is a fascinating one but I note that the BBC use Christianity as the proxy for religion and not any other religion. The BBC once again willing to directly attack the beliefs of Christianity but not to get close to even obliquely criticising Islam.
