Cosmic Chemistry: Do God and Science Mix?

John C Lennox (Author)

"In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues." Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford

Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God?

Building on the arguments put forward in God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?, Prof John Lennox examines afresh the plausibility of a Christian theistic worldview in the light of some of the latest developments in scientific understanding. Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life …

Clark R Bates (Author) & Sean McDowel (Creator) & Jorge Gil Calderon (Creator)

Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target

John C Lennox (Author)

Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God. Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, "is dangerous", it "kills" or "poisons everything". And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward? Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks. Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for … Access details page

The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity

Lee Strobel (Author)

In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith:

"Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot"
"Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true"
"Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed"
"God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children"
"It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God"
"A loving God would never torture people in hell"

The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

Timothy Keller (Author)

From Tim Keller's Website:

Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?

These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons …

Cosmic Chemistry | with John Lennox

Frank Turek (Host) & John C Lennox (Guest)

One of the greatest myths regarding God and science is that science has somehow disproven God. The exact opposite is actually closer to the truth. If science has disproven anything, it has disproven atheism. How can that be? The Great Dr. John Lennox, Professor at Oxford University, joins Frank to offer answers by discussing his new book Cosmic Chemistry. They address questions such as:

What can science explain and what are its limits— what can’t it explain?
What are new developments in science that are pointing more toward intelligence as a cause?
How does atheistic materialism negate our ability to …
