Bill Flavell presented “Faith & Science” on Friday 2 August at the University of Zambia. This was a presentation and open discussion considering the question of how we can be sure God exists. It explored the popular approaches of faith and philosophical argumentation and found these have been extensively used over 2,000 or more years but have been proven inadequate. The scientific method was then be considered. The scientific method has been extraordinarily successful in uncovering the secrets of the physical world but can it say anything about the supernatural? The presenter argued that the scientific method has no tools for “perceiving” God but has good tools for detecting God’s interventions in the world. A common definition of God was taken as a starting point and falsifiable hypotheses constructed that follow from the definition. From these hypotheses, predictions were made and data shown to determine whether the predictions are valid. If the data supports the predictions, we can say that the God hypothesis is supported. If the data does not support the predictions, we can say the God hypothesis is rejected.]]>
