Christianity ― Life ― Philosophy ― Heros ― 42
In today’s world, isn’t it science, rather than Christianity, that holds the key to answering life’s deepest questions? Haven’t new discoveries rendered religious ideas obsolete?
In our pluralistic and interconnected age, what should we put our trust in and is there any hope for humanity? Watch as John Lennox and Rob Gifford explore these and many other questions relating to God, science, and the meaning of life.
Neben seiner Karriere als Mathematikprofessor und Wissenschaftstheoretiker an der Universität Oxford wurde John Lennox vor allem durch seine auf youtube hunderttausendfach gesehenen Diskussionen mit führenden Atheisten wie Richard Dawkins, Peter Singer, Christopher Hitchens u.a. bekannt, in denen er die Glaubwürdigkeit seiner christlichen Überzeugung verteidigte.
Außerdem ist er Autor zahlreicher Bücher, die auch auf Deutsch erschienen sind, wie z.B. ‚Hat die Wissenschaft Gott begraben?‘ und ‚Sieben Tage, das Universum und Gott‘.
Beim Kamingespräch wird John in einem Interview aus seinem Leben als Wissenschaftler, Schriftsteller und Teilnehmer an weltweit beachteten Diskussionen erzählen.
Newman: … and did he (your father) make you go to church?
Jung: Oh yes, it was quite naturally…
Newman: And did you believe in God?
Jung: Oh yes!
N: Do you believe in God now?
J: Now? Difficult to answer. I know! I needen’t, I don’t need to believe. I know!

Diese Ansicht vertritt ICF-Pastor Manuel Schmid in einem Interview mit dem Wochenmagazin «ideaSpektrum».
