YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGenetics, artificial intelligence, climate change, flu vaccinations . . . There’s a lot of scientific debate, both for and against.
But is science being used for the benefit of human beings, or against them?
In *The Abolition of Man*, C. S. Lewis writes that “the serious magical endeavour and the serious scientific endeavour are twins.”
Like any other discipline of study, science is a tool of understanding. And like any tool, it can serve—or harm—human flourishing.
In this online conference, you'll explore Lewis’s theme and understand the role of science in human flourishing.
Featuring:
“Science and Scientism in the Age of COVID-19: Wisdom from C. S. Lewis,” Dr. John G. West
“AI: Menace or Savior?” Dr. Robert J. Marks II
“Hope from Science: Evidence for a Purposeful Universe,” Dr. Brian Miller
