3 - Galileo's Dilemma: Science and Religion
from The E=mc2 lectures on Sunday 15 May 2005
John Stenhouse, Department of History, Otago University, shows why the 'science versus religion' interpretation doesn't adequately explains either the Galileo affair, or the general historical relationship between science and Christianity. Taking listeners from seventeenth century Italy to the Darwinian debates in modern NZ, he illuminates a far richer, more complex and more interesting past. Along the way, he challenges certain popular modern myths and legends.
