Unknown

Since the dawn of civilization, humans have wondered who or what created the universe. Religion offers a spiritual answer, but do the latest discoveries in physics show evidence of a transcendent intelligence, or simply that the laws of physics by themselves could have led to the universe in which we live? This episode embarks on a mind-bending scientific search for God, asking physicists and theologians if the seemingly miraculous way the universe has been calibrated to support life is evidence of a creator... whether string theory will eventually be able to rule out the existence of God... why Stephen Hawking says the universe could have been created spontaneously... and how an advanced civilization in another universe could have conceivably created our own.
