Session 1 - Can Science Explain Everything?
Interviewer: There is a common perception that faith and science are in conflict and that religion has to give way to scientific findings.
John Lennox speaks about the role that ‘faith’ or trust plays in the workings of science.
- What do you make of the assertion that ‘all scientists have faith – (in the methods of science)’?
- In his discussion about Galileo John goes on to suggest that there have been many prominent scientists over the centuries who have also been Christians. Are you familiar with this idea and what do you make of it?
- What do you make of his statement that the fundamental debate is not between science and God, but between atheism (the view that there is no God) and theism (belief in God)?
