The Evolving Soul looks at nature, showing how our increasing knowledge of the natural world has failed to answer humanity's great spiritual questions.
Advances in physics prove that even simple systems can be extraordinarily complicated, that nature is a chaotic storm of complexity. While science tells us that all living things, including human beings, are composed of elements, this knowledge does little to unlock the secrets of the classic human riddles: Where does creativity come from? Why does each of us have a sense of self? What is the source of life itself?
An exploration of the great human mysteries, the SOUL trilogy of programs bridges the gulf between modern sci-ence and religion, asserting that the price of scientific knowledge is not spiritual emptiness. Instead, SOUL shows how scientific progress has yielded more new enigmas than certainties, leading many scientists to see the hand of God at work in the elegant unity of our cosmos.
Join host Anthony Clare and many of the best scientific and religious minds of our time, such as Stephen Hawking, Danah Zohar and Paul Davies, in an exciting voyage of scientific and spiritual discovery.
