Are We Lost in the Cosmos - Professor Alister McGrath

There have been dramatic changes in our scientific understanding of the universe in the last hundred years. It used to be thought that the universe was eternal; now it is thought that it came into being in the Big Bang. So what does this say about the trustworthiness of science? What are the implications of the Big Bang for our understanding of ourselves? Is the universe meaningless? or is there some way of developing a big picture of reality that helps us decide our place and purpose in the universe.
