SEEKING TO KNOW

A HUMANE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION

with Professor Andrew Steane, Oxford University

Tuesday 22nd October

7.30 for 8pm

Lindisfarne House, 4 Barbourne Terrace, Worcester WR1 3JS

 The current generation proponents of atheism, such as Richard Dawkins, are keen to promote a view of science and religious faith as being mutually exclusive. This is despite a significant number of leading scientific thinkers down the ages expressing how their deeply held faith in a creator God is compatible with and indeed enhances a scientific understanding of the universe.

One such leading scientist with a deeply held faith is Andrew Steane, Professor of Physics at Oxford University, specialising in Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics. He will discuss how science explains the world around us, and how its branches interplay to form a network of ideas that capture the essence of physical reality. Central to this is the recognition that biology is shaped, not random. Further, he will discuss how Christian thinking and commitment encourages this interplay of ideas, and helps us both understand and respond to reality.

Doors open at 7.30pm for coffee and cake.

The event begins at 8pm.
