The Sea of Faith Season 1 Episode 2 The Human Animal Airs November 19 2024 on BBC Four

On Monday, 19 November 2024, at 12:00 AM, The Sea of Faith continues with its thought-provoking journey into the intersection of religion and science. In this second episode, titled “The Human Animal,” Don Cupitt delves into two major challenges to traditional Christian beliefs. The episode examines Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking theory of evolution, which suggested that the idea of a special creation by God was no longer viable. Cupitt explores how Darwin’s work fundamentally altered the way humanity views itself and its origins.

In addition, the episode takes a closer look at Sigmund Freud and his revolutionary ideas. Freud’s consulting room in Vienna became the setting for ideas that would shake the foundations of Christian orthodoxy, challenging long-held beliefs about the nature of the human mind and the role of religion. As Cupitt unpacks these significant developments, viewers will gain insight into how science and psychology reshaped the understanding of humanity’s place in the world.
