The origin of our universe is the greatest mystery of all. Why is there something
rather than nothing? Further still, how did we come to exist in a world with such
precise laws of nature and complex creatures? As we shall see, how we answer
these questions determines everything: from the meaning of our lives to the
secrets of our futures.
This week Premier Unbelievable presents a two part show event entitled “The Mystery of Existence” opening with the perennial and mind teasing question, “Why is there something rather than nothing?”. We have teamed up with our friends at The Panpsycast Philosophy Podcast to create a riveting two-part show made possible in part thanks to the Global Philosophy of Religion Project at the University of Birmingham. Featuring four of the biggest names
in philosophy: Richard Dawkins (representing science and atheism), Jessica
Frazier (on Hinduism), Silvia Jonas (speaking on Jewish philosophy), and
Richard Swinburne (defending Christianity), the show asks the question, Why is there something rather than nothing?” The debate is presented by Unbelievable’s Ruth Jackson and hosted by Panpsycast’s Jack Symes.
