• W193065313 abstract "While the latest exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York explores evolution (BMJ 2005;331: 1379. [PubMed]), several hundred miles away at the start of the US Bible belt some of those who reject Darwin's theory are building a museum of creation. So far creationists have raised $25m (£14m; €21m) towards the project, which is nearing completion in Petersburg, Kentucky, and which claims to show that the world came into being exactly as told in the book of Genesis. It would not be so worrying if the museum, which bizarrely displays mankind side by side with dinosaurs and includes a tableau titled “Adam names the animals,” was intended as a bit of theme-park style fun. But, as UK fertility expert and television presenter Robert Winston tells us in the third and final episode of The Story of God, this is serious stuff.​stuff.Figure 1Comfortable with uncertainty: Robert WinstonCredit: BBCLord Winston, like the subject of his series, is omniscient and omnipresent in each episode, popping up all over the globe to discuss animism, polytheism, and mono-theism in their multiple incarnations. While he takes religion to task for its extremist tendencies (sacrifices, massacres, and suicide bombings), he also acknowledges the real need many people seem to have for its succour. A practising Jew, Winston sees no contradiction between his belief in God and his adherence to scientific principle. Science and religion are united by the principle of uncertainty, he explains.In the third episode he skilfully and sensitively explores the tensions that have emerged in our post-Enlightenment world as science has increasingly pushed religion to the margins. God has retreated, he says, to become “a god of the gaps,” the little spaces that are left after Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and others encroached on what used to be safe religious territory and offered new scientific explanations for natural phenomena. But now religion is fighting back, and scientists, including doctors, are being forced on the defensive.It was this that took Winston to the United States, and to the Creation Museum. “I admit I was dismayed by what I saw,” he says. “The fact that it was being done with such sincerity made it all the worse.” Equally worryingly, he tells us that 45% of Americans believe that if Genesis says one thing and if the scientific textbooks say another, Genesis must be right.Lord Winston has cornered the market in communicating matters of scientific complexity to a lay audience. In this series his scope was broader, and he rose admirably to the challenge. But as he found in Kentucky, it is hard to argue with those who are intent on the literal interpretation of mythological narratives. Citing how comfortable scientists are with the principle of uncertainty, he asks, “Why does faith have to be built on absolute certainty. Isn't faith built in spite of instead of because of it?”" @default.
