GOD IS IRRELEVANT: DISCUSS (low quality version)

God is Irrelevant: Discuss - Prof. John Lennox (Oxford University, UK)
Big Idea Lecture at HKU
7pm, Monday 9 September 2013.
Humans once found solace from a universe of things that could not be explained with a myriad of gods that thundered from above. This idea was later refined to say that a single God was in charge of the world. Today science points the way to unlocking the mysteries of the natural world around us. God is therefore obsolete, rendered irrelevant. (But is this true?)
John Lennox is Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, Fellow in Mathematics and the Philosophy of Science, and Pastoral Advisor at Green Templeton College, Oxford.
