Can Science Explain Everything?

Science and technology have delivered so much to the world: clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. But can science explain everything? Is there still need for religion?

A Presentation by Professor John Lennox

Oxford Mathematics Professor and Christian believer Prof. John Lennox offers a fresh way of thinking about science and Christianity that dispels the common misconceptions about both. He reveals that not only are they not opposed, but they can and must mix to give us a fuller understanding of the universe and the meaning of our existence.
