In this engaging discussion, Paul Ewart, an Oxford emeritus professor of atomic and laser physics and advocate for faith in science, debates with Simon Walker-Samuel, a UCL biophysicist and trustee of Humanists UK. They explore whether science and religion are in conflict, touching on topics like AI, consciousness, and the limits of reductionism. Ewart argues that Christianity provides deeper meaning beyond science, while Walker-Samuel approaches humanism and morality from a materialist perspective, questioning the implications of evidence and divine existence.
