The God Delusion Debate
John Lennox and Richard Dawkins
The debate features Professor Richard Dawkins, Fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, and Dr. John Lennox (MA, MA, Ph.D., D.Phil., D.Sc.), Reader in Mathematics and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green College, Oxford University.
Dawkins, voted by Europe's Prospect Magazine as one of the world's most important intellectuals, is regarded by many as the spokesman for the "New Atheism." He has written numerous best-sellers, most notable among them his recent book, The God Delusion, a New York Times Best-Seller for over thirty weeks. According to Dawkins, one can deduce atheism from scientific study; indeed, he argues that it is the only viable choice.
Lennox, a lecturer at the Oxford Center for Evangelism and Apologetics, RZIM's partnership with Wycliffe Hall of Oxford University, travels widely speaking on the interface between science and religion. Like Dawkins, he has dedicated his career to science, but he has arrived at very different conclusions. "It is the very nature of science that leads me to belief in God," he says. He has written a response to the notion that science has exposed the Bible as obscurantist in a book titled God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?
The debate, held in October of 2007 before a sold out audience in Birmingham, Alabama, centered on Dawkins' views as expressed in his best-seller, The God Delusion, and their validity over and against the Christian faith.
