Justin Taylor mentioned a seminary given by John Lennox (Oxford Univ.) on “God and Richard Dawkins.” Lennox is a respected Research Fellow at Oxford in Mathematics and Philosophy. The lecture can be obtained here.
I should warn you that I have not listened to the seminary yet [working during the Kentucky Derby can cause such problems], so I have no opinion on any outcome. I’ve heard Lennox before, and he seems like an intelligent and eloquent speaker, so – in any case – I’m looking forward to listening soon.
I’d also ask that anyone who’s going to listen to the lecture just to confirm their presuppositions (either Christians looking for ammo or atheists looking to “poke holes” in arguments) and then complain and/or comment here shouldn’t waste their time. No one on this blog gave the lecture, nor is supporting it or condemning it yet… so let’s try and keep it civil.
Che… looking forward to your insights and responses if you get a chance to check out the seminar.
Thanks for the cordial invite.
Just thought I’d be polite and let you know that I’ve just finished listening to Lennox’s lecture. I have a couple of disagreements, but there’s a lot to go over – I’m still thinking.
The problem I’m having is that I keep taking problems with the specific examples he’s using for his argument, and in the process I’m losing track of how his argument is shaped. I have to keep bringing my focus back to the whole picture of what he’s saying instead of poking holes in the minutiae of what he’s saying.
So I’ll take some time off to listen to Lennox a few times and make sure I get it all straight in my head. Just letting you know that I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the invitation.
