Deleted Scenes about the meaning of life

Lately I’ve been watching a lot of lectures, debates, and other clips having to deal with truth, art, theology, and just general education. iTunes U might become a large part of my life now that I’ve discovered through my housemate that a lot of colleges (namely Yale) offer course selection streams of virtually all their classes and lectures and you can basically pick and choose interesting topics of top schools to hear for free. Learning as a whole is costly, but not all of it has to be.

This is from a video Richard Dawkins was making and this fantastic interview “didn’t make the cut.” It’s raw, completely uncut footage of the interaction featuring Alister McGrath, a former staunch atheist who studied mathematics, chemistry, molecular biophysics, and taught at schools like Oxford, Cambridge, Regent College, and King’s College London. He’s now an Evangelical Christian Theologian and apologist and has written well over 30 books and seems to show no signs of slowing down, with three having been released in this year alone. This interview is a great conversation between two brilliant minds who don’t dance around the issues.
