As science advances, it collides with rigid religious doctrines. Philosopher Bertrand Russell charts centuries of conflict, from Galileo's heresy to modern medical breakthroughs. Exploring how new knowledge topples old certainties, he reveals the constant upheaval and reevaluation of our deepest beliefs. Even today, the war between science and theology rages on, challenging us to reconcile the physical world with our spiritual convictions.
