Science is big news from Hawking, through Dawkins and to the end of the Universe. In pop culture it is often presented in conflict with Christian faith. In these talks we will go from the comedy of Young Sheldon to the accelerating universe, from a Christian doctrine of creation to questions of souls and the life to come. Throughout it we will consider how to nurture churches where people can ask questions about aliens, quantum theory and Jesus with scientific integrity and theological joy.
