Classic Replay: Does Science need God? Tom McLeish, David Hutchings & Suzie Sheehy
Playback speed
To honour the passing of the great scientist and Christian educator Tom McLeish, we're replaying this show first broadcast in 2017.
David Hutchings is a physics teacher and prof Tom McLeish chaired the Royal Society’s education committee. Both Christians co-authored the book ‘Let there be Science: Why God Loves Science and Science needs God’ arguing that the Christian worldview has fuelled many of the greatest leaps forward in science.
Joining David and Tom was Suzie Sheehy, an accelerator physicist at Oxford University who is agnostic when it comes to religion. She argued that science doesn’t need God since it’s a fundamentally human activity.
