I submitted a shorter version of of this podcast for the 365 days of astronomy podcast. The comments <a href="http://365daysofastronomy.org/2009/07/06/july-6th-science-and-religion/#comments" rel="nofollow">there</a> were on the whole negative but not as considered as yours. Hi Edmund,

Like you I found this fascinating, the fact that I did not agree with Dr Chapman’s views was not important.

I submitted a shorter version of of this podcast for the 365 days of astronomy podcast. The comments there were on the whole negative but not as considered as yours.

Dr Chapman is a man I've always respected for the enthusiasm and erudition he brings to science and astronomy. But as an aetheist I was astonished at how his powers of logic and reason suddenly deserted him when faced with fairly basic questions concerning the existence or otherwise of a deity. Intoning mantra-like that "god moves in mysterious ways" when asked to explain the glaring contradictions or anomalies in the tenets underpinnig his Christianity simply does not cut it.
