God vs Science Debate with Peter Atkins and Keith Fox

2024-12-06T12:08:00Z

Ruth Jackson returned to school to host this lively debate between Peter Atkins, renowned atheist and scientist, and Keith Fox, Christian biologist and theologian. In front of a live young audience, they explore one of the most profound questions: Is religion, just wishful thinking? Atkins and Fox tackle the big questions at the intersection of science, faith, and ethics, including: Are we just matter? Can science explain everything, or are there questions beyond its scope? Will further advancements in technology—like space exploration, genetic modification, and AI override any need or belief in God? From the accusation of “playing God” in genetic engineering to the nature of consciousness in artificial intelligence, this conversation challenges assumptions about what it means to be human and the role of faith in a scientific world.
