2017 Thought for the Day BBC Radio 4

By paul on October 10, 2017 | Leave a comment

Reverend Dr. Giles Fraser reflects on what it means to be human and our capacity to experience wonder. Taking as his starting point the film “Blade Runner” based on the short story by voice hearer and science fiction writer, Phlip K Dick, he refers to the following quote:

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die

Reverend Dr. Giles Fraser concludes his talk by enthusiastically speaking of the link between science and religion.
