Can real scientists have a religious faith? Are science and faith compatible? To address these questions, we will immerse ourselves in the awe-inspiring story of the sweep of cosmic history from the Big Bang to humankind. Graham will consider the wonders of space and also what science is telling us about the nature of reality at the quantum level. John will ponder the beautiful complexity of living things and the ways in which they interact. But how did it all start? Did it all happen by ‘blind chance’? Where do humans fit in? Are we really made ‘in the image of God’? Come and investigate these questions with us and enjoy this celebration of God’s revelation in nature!
