This presentation explores the relationship between science and belief in a Creator, challenging the common view that faith and scientific reasoning are incompatible. Drawing on philosophical and scientific arguments, it examines the cosmological question of why the universe exists at all, discussing concepts such as contingent and necessary existence and the implications of the Big Bang for understanding the origin of the universe. It proposes that the existence and structure of the cosmos point toward a transcendent Creator who established the laws governing reality.
Evidence commonly associated with the design argument will also be considered, along with examples of complexity and purpose in both the physical universe and living systems. From finely tuned physical constants, that make life possible, to intricate biological information encoded in DNA – are such features best explained by chance or intentional design?
Attendees will be invited to reflect on fundamental questions about existence, the origins of life, and the nature of reality. By engaging with ideas from science, logic, and theology, the aim is to stimulate thoughtful discussion about the possibility of a purposeful Creator and the broader implications of scientific discovery for understanding our world.
