Join our Friday Friendship Cafe for Free bubble tea & chips and a talk with Professor Andrew Halestrap.
5 - 7pm, 6 February at BISC
This week we are going to have some free home-made bubble tea & chips and a talk about “Faith in Science“.
“After a brief introduction to my own scientific research I will outline how I see the relationship between my science and my Christian faith - science reveals how God works in the world and God makes sense of why science works. I will suggest that the arguments for the existence of God are stronger than the arguments for atheism and explain what has led me to the Christian faith.“ — Professor Andrew Halestrap
Have you ever wondered about the relationship between science and Christianity? Are they enemy to each other? How can I believe in God if I am scientific? Bring your questions and ask the professor about it!
BISC is very pleasure to have Professor Andrew on Friday. Here are more info about him —
