For the four Sundays in January 2018 All Saints Church, Lydiard Millicent we welcomed leading scientists from three Universities and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in Swindon. All are experts in their fields and all have a living faith in Christ. Each speaker explained how their pursuit of science and their Christian belief complement rather than contradict each other. We are grateful to God and the speakers for such a brilliant series of talks.
7th January: Professor Keith Fox, Professor of Biochemistry at Southampton, spoke on the topic ‘Great are the works of the Lord’, relating his thoughts to his expertise in the study of DNA.
14th January: Professor John Bryant, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at Exeter, spoke on 'Making a god of our genes', highlighting the uses and possible mis-uses of genetics.
21st January: Professor Paul Ewart, Professor of Physics at Oxford, spoke on ‘Chaos in Creation’ bringing together a biblical view of God and creation with insights from science to help us understand the role of faith and reason in helping us make sense of suffering.
28th January: Dr Andrew Bourne, Associate Director of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in Swindon, spoke on his own perspective from the work he does across the United Kingdom in funding scientific research. Andrew is a member of All Saints Church.
