Is God Worth a Second Look? - Frank Stootman - 8th November - Friday Night Lecture

Western Society is, to all intents and purposes, atheist. Our scientific, economic, political, and educational institutions all operate practically as if God is irrelevant. What has happened in both the sciences and humanities that has created this situation and what are the consequences? When examined closely, is there a rational case which, once again, points in the Biblical direction towards the Hebrew God - which underpins both the form of the universe and our humanity?   Click for Slides   Dr Frank Stootman is a physicist and committed Christian. He worked for Western Sydney University for 23 years and retired as Associate Professor of Physics. He has spent many years doing research in Astrophysics and has an abiding interest in teaching well, electronics, and videography. He holds a PhD in Physics as well as a Dip. Ed from Sydney Teachers College. He is director of L'Abri Fellowship in Australia, which is an international organization promoting thoughtful Christianity and honest answers to honest questions in the context of home hospitality. (www.labri.org/australia) Frank has spoken widely on the relationship between Christianity and Science both nationally and internationally. He has written chapters in books and edited a volume for the International Astronomy Union. We will be doing something a little different this series - our speakers will be zoom-ing in and speaking to us from afar. This will allow our local supporters to meet some of our colleagues from other L'Abri branches and hear a little of their work in other parts of the world. This Friday we visit Sydney, Australia!
