Did Science Replace God?

Does science eliminate the need for God — or do modern discoveries actually support the God hypothesis?
In this video, we explore the historic tension between science and belief in God — from the bold declaration “Is God Dead?” on the 1966 cover of Time Magazine to today’s renewed scientific discussions about the origin of the universe. We examine how influential scientists like Laplace, Darwin, and Julian Huxley argued that science made the God hypothesis unnecessary — and how groundbreaking 20th-century discoveries about the beginning of the universe, fine-tuning, and biological information have challenged that assumption. Featuring insights from Stephen Meyer, Allan Sandage, and Robert Jastrow, this video asks a profound question: Is science really in conflict with belief in God, or is the evidence pointing somewhere deeper?
In this video, you’ll learn:
- Why many 19th and 20th-century scientists rejected the need for God
- How the Big Bang theory reshaped the science-and-faith conversation
- What “fine-tuning” of the universe actually means
- Why digital information in DNA raise philosophical questions
- How prominent scientists reconsidered materialism
