Just a reminder to come to tomorrow night’s event featuring a panel of scientists, philosophers and theologians whom you can fire questions at around the topic “Has Science Disproved God?” at the University of Auckland.
The speakers are:
Neil Broom (PhD) is Professor and Head of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Auckland.

When: Thursday 11 March at 7pm
Where: OGGB 4 (260-073 Owen G Glenn Building), 12 Grafton Road, The University of Auckland
The organisers – Thinking Matters, the sponsors – TSCF and I have had a lot of feedback and buzz around this event. We are expecting a good turnout and people seem to be getting their questions ready; topics that look set to come up include the scientific evidence for and against God, issues around Naturalism and the project of science itself but you can raise any related question you like!
Now to the lay person these topics may sound complicated, however, I have been assured by the organisers that this is a lay-friendly event. All the PhD’s on the panel will be speaking plain english and breaking down anything complicated so that the rest of us can follow. I am bringing my teenagers and some of their friends so that should give you an idea of how accessible it will be.
