Cosmic Origins
Has science really disproven the existence of God That’s
what many modern atheists say. But that claim is far from
the truth, as these top scientists, theologians, and philosophers
say in this powerful new documentary.
In this exciting film, you’ll join Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., and
physicist Stephen Barr, along with leaders in the world of science
including Lisa Randall (named one of Time Magazine’s
100 Most Influential People in 2007), Nobel laureate Arno Penzias,
Harvard astronomer Owen Gingerich, NASA scientist
Jennifer Wiseman, and Templeton Prize winners John Polkinghorne
and Michael Heller.
Cosmic Origins, in clear, easy-to-understand terms, explains
what we know about the beginning and nature of the universe,
as well as why this evidence points to the existence of God.
Cosmic Origins expertly conveys a vital and important message
to today’s audience.
DVD includes bonus special features.
