Musings: Notes From My Daybook

A remarkable debate on science and faith.  Thanks to Pat for noting this account of a debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox--two Oxford professors who had never met.  Naomi Riley posts a review in the WSJ here.  The debate, held on October 3, highlights  growing conversations and dialogue between people of faith and science.

Recent years have brought new apologists for atheism to the public eye.  Dawkins is perhaps the most famous; however, persons like Christopher Hitchens with his recent book, God is Not Great, reflect this growing group.  Yet  Christian voices are responding.  In addition to John Lennox, Francis Collins, one of America's leading scientists and Alister McGrath who also teaches at Oxford with two doctor's degrees (science and theology) are offering cogent alternative views.

I find it all quite welcoming.  Christians have nothing to fear and much to gain in civil, public discource about matters of science and faith.  The Christian faith offers the best vision of how to appropriate and understand life and experience.  Let's talk!
