Talks & Lectures

Can science solve every mystery?

8 Jun 2013

Centre for Inquiry UK and Conway Hall present

Can science solve every mystery? A scientist, a philosopher and a Christian discuss.

Peter Atkins, David Papineau, Peter S. Williams

Can science answer every question? Should scientists show a little humility and acknowledge there are questions that only religion can answer? Are science and religion “non-overlapping magisteria”, as the scientist Stephen Jay Gould claimed, or is science capable of showing that religion is false, as Richard Dawkins believes? And what, exactly, do philosophers do?

Presented and chaired by Stephen Law (Philosophy, Heythrop and Provost of CFI UK).

(indicative prices not confirmed) £7 (£4 students) Free to friends of CFI UK. Tickets on door.

10.30am registration. 11am-2.30pm

Speakers

Professor Peter Atkins (Univ. of Oxford). Chemist, atheist and author of many books including Galileo’s Finger and Four Laws That Drive the Universe:

“Religion closes off the central questions of existence by attempting to dissuade us from further enquiry by asserting that we cannot ever hope to comprehend. We are, religion asserts, simply too puny.”

“Sitting around thinking about the world … [that] is philosophy. And we know where that leads to in understanding. My argument is - nowhere.”

Peter S. Williams (Damaris Trust). Philosopher and leading British Christian apologist. Author of C.S. Lewis vs the New Atheists and A Faithful Guide to Philosophy:

“The existence of scientific laws is inexplicable unless we move beyond science into the realm of metaphysics, postulating a God who intends those laws for a reason.”

Professor David Papineau (KCL). One of Britain’s leading philosophers and humanists and author ofPhilosophical Devices:

“Philosophical problems are characterized by a special kind of difficulty, a difficulty which means that they cannot be solved, as scientific problems normally are, simply by the uncovering of further empirical evidence. Rather they require some conceptual unravelling, a careful unpicking of implicit ideas, often culminating in the rejection of assumptions we didn't realize we had.”

Piero and his band

Sat 15 Jun 2013, 19.00

“ Viejo mi querido…Viejo”

After 16 years Piero is back performing in London and what a better way to celebrate the Father’s Day than to listen to his political, romantic and sentimental repertoire that connects the audience with the Latin American roots.

Piero De Benedictis (stage name Piero), an Italian born Argentine singer and songwriter who also holds Colombian citizenship, is very popular in Latin America from La Patagonia to Mexico. Piero has been recording and sharing stage with many other famous Latin American singers, just to mention some: Pablo Milanes, Mercedes Sosa, Isabel Parra, Victor Jara, Leon Gieco and Victor Heredia. During his 44 years career he has performed in front of more than 5 million people on the American Continent and has sold more than 3 million CDs worldwide. His fame in Latin America can be compared to Paul McCartney’s in Europe

TICKETS: £23 Advance, £28 at the Door
