Scientific Evangelisation

I have said before that although people are entitled to believe whatever they want, I find evangelisation and proselytising insulting and offensive. It seems strange then that I should wish to engage in evangelisation myself. In the last week, however, I have become increasingly obsessed with the genius of John Boswell's Symphony of Science

Boswell is a musician who has stitched together interviews, soundbites and documentary clips to create music videos designed to inspire people about science and the world around them. When I watched these for the first time, the experience was nothing short of revelatory. To see the great minds of science like Dawkins, Feynman, Sagan and Hawking showing the enthusiasm and passion for the wonder of nature which I have come to share is truly remarkable. I encourage everyone who reads this to watch the video and explore the site and hopefully you'll come away with a deeper understanding and admiration for the beauty of the universe.
