Norwegian TV is sending the series Christianity - A History these days and yesterday's program was the seventh of eight, God and the Scientists .
It was a bisarre episode, right out of a 1960's mentality with secularism on the rise led by brave scientists who despite persecution had been able to replace Christian dogma and now making Christianity obsolete, Dawkins and others looking at science as the only way to truth, Bruno being the first martyr for science etc etc - the whole conflict myth.

"For over fifteen hundred years, Christians saw the Bible as the primary source of knowledge, but in the seventeenth Century the beginnings of a scientific revolution began to challenge the Christian view of the world.
Eminent scientist Colin Blakemore interviews esteemed scholars and churchmen in order to understand how science has transformed Christianity over the last four centuries.
He shows how scientists born of the Enlightenment realised that the laws of the universe were there to be discovered, not read about in the Bible.
He argues that science is the biggest challenge Christianity has ever had to face, and that it will eventually make religion unnecessary."
In other words, there will be a reply by some Norwgian scientists in a national newspaper one of these days...
