It is the latest contribution from a group of scientists who have raised several serious challenges to the prevailing culture and ideology of scientific materialism, which has dominated the public discourse for 175 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release of the film follows the publication of two books that press the challenges to scientific materialism to their logical breaking point. The first is<em>&nbsp;The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Return of the God Hypothesis (<\/em>HarperOne, 2021) by Stephen C. Meyer; the second is&nbsp;<em>God, the Science, the Evidence<\/em>&nbsp;by Michel-Yves Bollor\u00e9 and Olivier Bonnassies (Palomar) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/articles\/2025\/14-november\/books-arts\/book-reviews\/book-review-god-the-science-the-evidence-by-michel-yves-bollore-and-olivier-bonnassies\">Books, 14 November 2025<\/a>). Both are global bestsellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film includes contributions from many of the world\u2019s leading scientists who do not accept the pre-eminence of scientific materialism \u2014 or, at least, who have grave doubts about it. Among them are Professor John Lennox, Dr Stephen Meyer, Dr David Berlinski, Professor Douglas Axe, and Professor James Tour. This is no band of lightweight chancers: they are serious scientists, experts in the natural sciences, mathematics, and the history of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/science\">science<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/philosophy\">philosophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few years, they have patiently and politely argued their case with increasing confidence as the compelling nature of their argument has begun to cut through. Dr Meyer has been interviewed by Joe Rogan on his podcast at length, and has appeared on&nbsp;<em>Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/em>, in which Mr Morgan declared himself a theist on the same basis as Dr Meyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/articles\/2026\/5-june\/comment\/opinion\/scientific-evidence-for-god-is-inescapable\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;For too long, scientific materialists have been allowed to obscure what has been obvious to many of us.&quot;<br><br>Arguments that challenge a materialist world-view are gaining a hearing beyond academia, writes Simon Miller <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/science?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#science<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Metaphysics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Metaphysics<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EFRTei68Dm\">https:\/\/t.co\/EFRTei68Dm<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Church Times (@ChurchTimes) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChurchTimes\/status\/2063817135596372359?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 8, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The documentary\u00a0The Story of Everything\u00a0was released by Fathom Entertainment at the end of April.
