Science & Faith Conference

767 North Mathilda Avenue,Sunnyvale CA 94085

11 October, 2022

Description

Aggressive atheists argue that science has essentially disproved Christianity, and thereby justify their rejection of God and religious values. To assess the plausibility of their case requires understanding the basis of science, whether it has intrinsic limitations, and in what areas of life it is reliable. Although the atheist’s claims are mistaken overreach, there are some interpretations of the Bible that are possibly inconsistent with what science now tells us about the world. This event will explain the strengths and weaknesses of science in addressing the Christian Faith, but also the strengths and weaknesses of theology in investigating the workings and history of nature. Ian Hutchinson is a Plasma physicist and Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is a frequent speaker on the relationship between science and religion and authored two books on the topic titled "Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles?" and "Monopolizing Knowledge". Dr. Hutchinson received his B.A. in physics from Cambridge University in 1972. He then received his Ph.D in Engineering Physics from Australian National University in 1976, where he was a Commonwealth Scholar. Sam Perli is a Stem cell scientist and a Research Fellow at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is pastor of Hue Church and has led Groups Investigating God (GIGs) engaging the thinker and the believer alike. Dr. Perli received his B.Tech in Electrical Engineering as a topper of IIT Madras in 2008 winning the prestigious Institute medal. He then received his S.M. and Ph.D in Computer Science and Molecular Biology respectively from MIT in 2015. We, the Hue Church are a start up church in the SF Bay Area.
