A debate with Greg Atkins and Keith Fox.

Defenders of Christian belief argue that theism is the best explanation for everything and is complementary, but not opposed, to a scientific understanding of the material world. Their opponents argue that theism is unnecessary and irrelevant for explaining the existence and nature of the cosmos, which should be based on science alone, and not involve the supernatural.

Greg Atkins is a member of Dorset Humanists. He was a Professor of Science (Virology) at Trinity College Dublin until he retired and a founder member of the Humanist Association of Ireland. Keith Fox is Associate Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion in Cambridge, and Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Southampton. He is a former trustee and chairman of Christians in Science.
