I decided to talk today about a series of TV programs that cover fundamental questions about the existence of God. I think it is a big positive change in our collective consciousness that conversations like that became possible. These are the questions that should be asked and answered. It is also good to hear the position of both sides of the debate. All of the programs I mentioned below invited both scientists, members of the Church, and spiritual teachers, like Deepak Chopra. Could discussions like this happen, say 20 or even 10 years ago?
- Did God Create Man or Did Man Create God?
The most interesting example is a discussion that happened this Friday, September 10 on Larry King Live. The question discussed was quite unusual for this program -“Did God Create Man or Did Man Create God?" The guests on the show were the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking and a diverse panel made up of spiritual author and medical doctor Deepak Chopra, physicist and co- author of Hawking’s latest and controversial book “The Grand Design”, Leonard Mlodinow and Jesuit Priest, Father Robert Spitzer.
Here’s the interview -
