Oxford mathematician and apologist John Lennox is joined by Samuel Marusca and Justin Brierley at the Practical Wisdom Conference in London to discuss faith in the age of science. John Lennox challenges conventional beliefs about science's explanatory scope, and exposes that science doesn't even explain what you think it does.
Lennox delves into the assertions of Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking, who propose that the Universe originated from nothing, presenting a compelling case for creationism. He adeptly critiques the limitations of the theory of evolution while simultaneously clarifying his position on the age of the Earth, claiming he is NOT a young earth creationist and emphasizing its compatibility with the Christian worldview. Moreover, meaning and the semantics of language suggest that there is intelligent design in the universe.
Justin Brierley, author and broadcaster, moderates a captivating Q&A session where Lennox shares profound insights on the problem of evil and articulates why Christianity stands apart from other religions. This enlightening discussion at the intersection of faith and science promises to broaden perspectives and elevate your understanding of our complex world.
