Beyond Dawkins’ God Delusion: Re-evaluating Science and Faith

It is often assumed that faith and science are at odds with each other and that scientists dismiss religion as irrational. This series of talks on science and faith will challenge that myth. Our speakers, all prominent in their fields, will discuss how findings in biology, cosmology, physics and philosophy support a Christian approach to the world and will show how it is possible to have ‘a scientific faith’.

The talks will be held at St Marys Centre, Goat Lane, Eastrop, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 7PZ ENGLAND. Each talk starts at 8:00pm and will end at 10:00pm.

Tickets cost £5 for each talk, including refreshments (concessions £2). Tickets for all six talks cost £25 (concessions £10). (Concessions include students, over 60s, unwaged).
