Series 1, Episode 2 - God, Are You Out There?

The age-old clash between religion and science. Paul thinks he sees God in the gullet of a wormhole and becomes determined to publish his beliefs.

But as Rachel, the cool, cynical and terminally atheist, reminds him, there is no place in science for religion and God did not create the world.

But then Pip and Rachel also see the face in the wormhole, and reluctantly agree that Paul may be right and should publish his paper.
