YouTube description
Fourth in a series of six informal postings on the New Atheism by Professor Alister McGrath, one of its leading critics. This fourth post calls into question the New Atheist assumptions about the ability of science to answer deep existential questions, and especially the idea that science discredits belief in God. A much more detailed presentation of the arguments of this short series can be found in McGrath's new book "Why God won't go away."
