Norman Bacrac

In 2014, the American Christian apologist W.L. Craig set out his eight reasons for belief in God in the bi-monthly magazine Philosophy Now, issue 99. In this talk, the validity of these eight reasons will be critically examined by atheist Norman Bacrac. Also assessed will be the morality of a God who seems to require us to have the logically impossible faculty of libertarian free will.

Norman Bacrac was first elected a Trustee of the Ethical Society several decades ago. He is also Editor of Conway Hall Ethical Society’s monthly journal, Ethical Record. As a former physics teacher, he is particularly interested in the problem of how the physics of the brain generates conscious experiences, the role it might play in determining the choices we make, and the implications of all this for humanist philosophy.

Doors 10.30. Entry £3, £2 concs./free to Ethical Society members.

Tea, coffee & biscuits will be available.
