During our meeting on Thursday 7th May, as well as enjoying marzipan and blackcurrant muffins, we listened to a York Courses CD, ‘Hawking, Dawkins and God’ as a basis for our discussion. John Polkinghorne, an Anglican Priest, also Fellow of the Royal Society and a former Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge University discussed his Christian faith in the light of New Atheism and explained why he believes in God.
