The Creation

How did the universe begin? According to Genesis, God created the world in six days. According to science, the universe was born about 15 billion years ago in a moment of cataclysmic creation -the big bang. But this theory leaves open the question: how did the bang happen in the first place? It is here that science has seemed to leave room for God - at least in the role of lighting the blue touch paper. But very recently some scientists have claimed that they can answer the ultimate question - how the universe appeared all on its own, out of nothing. Is this true? And what would be the implications if it is? In this film Everyman uses advanced computer graphics to explain the latest developments in the scientific understanding of the creation, and talks to leading scientists, both religious and atheist, about the consequences of these developments for belief in God.
