Across the globe, many still believe in God and make attempts to prove the existence of a supreme being, but could it be that theistic belief is counter-intuitively itself sufficient proof for God’s non-existence? Is belief in God driven by an underlying human fear of mortality, or does religious belief provide more than just a get-out-of-death free card? Join famed comedian and award-winning author, David Baddiel, in conversation with Chine McDonald, director of the think tank Theos, as David unpacks the big questions surrounding mortality, the self, and the supernatural.
This event is in association with Theos.
