With science providing more and more insights into the workings of the Universe, many people have turned their backs on religion entirely. Why invoke a God to explain the world, the argument goes, when science does a perfectly good job?Professor John Lennox, however, begs to differ.
Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, Lennox is both a scientist and a Christian. In his new book, Can Science Explain Everything? (£7.99, The Good Book Company), Lennox argues that the worldviews of religion and science are not incompatible.In fact, he goes one step further, arguing that science actually points towards the existence of God.
In this episode of theScience Focus Podcast, he speaks toBBC Focus staff writer James Lloyd.
