"Can science solve every mystery?" - discussion at Conway Hall, London
Saturday 08 June 2013
11:00 to 14:30
Can science answer every question? Should scientists show a little humility and acknowledge there are questions that only religion can answer? Are science and religion “non-overlapping magisteria”, as the scientist Stephen Jay Gould claimed, or is science capable of showing that religion is false, as Richard Dawkins believes? And what, exactly, do philosophers do?
British Humanist Association event, presented and chaired by Stephen Law (Philosophy, Heythrop and Provost of CFI UK).
Speakers: Professor Peter Atkins (Univ. of Oxford), chemist, atheist and author of many books including Galileo’s Finger and Four Laws That Drive the Universe; Peter S. Williams (Damaris Trust), philosopher and leading British Christian apologist author of C.S. Lewis vs the New Atheists and A Faithful Guide to Philosophy; Professor David Papineau (KCL), philosopher, humanist and author of Philosophical Devices.
