“Scientific advances have made God irrelevant”.

It’s a familiar objection – but in this pair of seminars recorded at Forum 2022, we’re turning the tables.

In session 1, 'Hasn't science killed atheism?', we dig into history and philosophy and discover why science and atheism aren’t so compatible after all.

Then in session 2, 'Good news for the research lab', we look at how the gospel provides the only solid and consistent framework for doing science, and consider how we practically hold out this better framework to colleagues and coursemates.

On this page, you'll find audio recordings of both seminars, and slides to accompany the talks.
