The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Story of God is a three-part documentary series produced by Dangerous Films and presented by Robert Winston. It first aired on 4, 11, and 18 December 2005 on BBC One and was rebroadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in May and June 2006 and by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in April 2007. The Story of God explores the origins of religion, focusing on the three Abrahamic faiths, and discusses belief in God in a scientific age. The series included a number of interviews with scientists, including Dean Hamer, Richard Dawkins, and members of the CERN programme. During the documentary, Winston debates notable creationist Ken Ham, visiting the creation museum where, he states, "scientific facts are ignored in favour of religious certainty". He presents his view that science and religion have an important role in human development, but that absolute certainty in either "can lead to serious problems". Winston also wrote a book titled The Story of God, which was published in 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
