Description

Ideas about the soul and the afterlife, of sin and God's purpose have shaped human thinking for thousands of years. Religious rituals remain embedded in the major events of our lives. In this The Meaning of Life, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins asks what happens if we leave religion behind. In The Meaning of Life he explores what reason and science might offer to inspire and guide our lives in religion's place. Can science bring understanding in the face of death, help us tell right from wrong or reveal the point of life in the first place? In a journey that takes him through visually stunning locations across the world, Richard Dawkins builds a powerful argument for facing up to the scientific truth about life and death--however hard that might be. The Meaning of Life is part of the fascinating BBC documentary series Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life in which Richard Dawkins asks what would happen if we turned away from religion.
