The
events surrounding the life of Galileo are a watershed in the debate
about science and the Bible. This two-hour NOVA special explores
Galileo's efforts to convince the Church to distinguish between the
words of the Bible and interpretations of the Bible. The program
provides some intriguing parallels to what Christians face today in
debates about the age of the earth. It also presents an example of how
information from the record of nature can sometimes correct our
interpretations of the Bible.
