The fifth of six programmes
Evelyn Ebsworth , Professor of Molecular Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, talks to Ronald Eyre about the relationship between his own scientific discipline and Christian beliefs.
EBSWORTH: I do not believe that a chemical compound has a soul. I don't believe it's a thinking and spiritual being, whereas I believe that man is exactly that, that man has a spirit ... which is outside, but part of, his normal sphere of operations ... It is something that has to be recognised as part of the world we're living in. Director CHRISTOPHER MANN Producer PETER FIRTH
