Prof. Alister McGrath
The Dawkins Delusion: Has Science Killed Off God?

(Oliver Thompson Lecture Theatre)
Nearest Tube Station: Angel (Northern Line)
buffet 6.30pm
lecture 7.30pm
Tickets: £10
In this wide-ranging lecture, Prof. McGrath will critique the views of Richard Dawkins and discuss whether science and religion are locked in mortal combat, as Prof. Dawkins maintains, or whether there might in reality be a more fruitful and positive relationship between them. Prof. McGrath (who at one time was, like Dawkins, a committed atheist), lectures widely on the subject of science and faith. This overview will be accessible to those both with or without a background in science, of any faith or none. Following the lecture, a good period of questions will enable the audience to engage with Prof. McGrath and his views on the ‘Dawkins Delusion’.
