I read about the series in Sky and Telescope. There are one-paragraph summaries of each episode, and one of the upcoming ones is about global warming.

Then, in the opening episode (which I did watch) they were smugly patting themselves about using the scientific method, basing conclusions on objective data, and always questioning everything.

In the episode itself they spent ten minutes on the poor plight of someone who dared to question the dogma of the church - even though they admitted in the episode that he had no proof for his theory. In essence, it was his (Bruni's) opinion against others. And it also showed Bruni (in animation) turning away from the cross while they said that Bruni was always a man of Christian faith - he just believed that God had created a bigger universe than the 'consensus' of the day. So even beyond their biased selection of a non-scientific (meaning, no real data on either side) focus for a major portion of the episode just so they could take a shot at the church, they lied in what the protagonist believed.

So, smugly claiming to use the scientific method when they do not, selecting for a major focus in the first episode a non-scientific argument in which they falsely showed the 'good guy' turning away from the cross in disgust, and an upcoming episode that is promised to be propaganda on the sacred dogma of global warming.

So, I watched the first one but I won't be watching the others.

It’s easy to mock God when one’s a fool.

Questions of “HOW” God did something are always welcome when they are sincere. Even if they’re wrong, God is gracious to the sincere seeker.

The mockers get the laugh treatment themselves. See Psalm 2, f’r instance.
