Three somewhat skeptical friends take a road trip in a haggard RV reenacting an ancient Biblical pilgrimage. In the gospel of Luke, the resurrected Jesus is said to appear to two travelers walking form Jerusalem to Emmaus in ancient Israel. This is the modern story of three travelers looking for Jesus between Jerusalem, Ohio and Emmaus, PA. What starts as an investigative experiment ends as a poignant story of post-modern pilgrimage and communal awakening.
Millions of Chinese died and millions more were left homeless after the Yangtze River flood of 1931. Irish priests and nuns played an important role in the disaster relief.

Human consciousness is the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe. Not only does it exist; it is sophisticated beyond understanding.

Examining the evidence from ‘the God gene’ to near death experience, this episode brings the final clash of views of this God question series.
If ever God had an undertaker, it surely must be Charles Darwin. Yet, says his biographer James Moore “Darwin was never really an atheist”. He has, nevertheless, become its patron saint. The evidence for evolution is compelling. Indeed its achievements are so spectacular that they lead to underlying questions about why it is so successful if there is no over-arching mind. In this episode champions of the view that Darwin has buried God clash with their theistic counterparts.
