Facts and fancies in modern science

These lectures offer a measured examination of how modern science intersects with the spiritual questions that have long shaped human thought. Set against the backdrop of late‑nineteenth‑century debate, the author seeks to strip away sensationalist claims that science alone can replace faith, instead inviting listeners to consider how empirical facts and theological ideas can inform one another.

Across six sessions the speaker tackles topics such as agnostic speculation, the evidence for evolution in the rock record, the antiquity of humanity, and the view of nature as an expression of mind. He also probes the relationship between scientific insight and revealed truth, always emphasizing a respectful dialogue rather than a hostile clash. The result is a thoughtful guide for anyone curious about the enduring conversation between discovery and devotion.
