God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution
Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies

Sheldonian Theatre
£10 - £25
Computer engineer Michel-Yves Bolloré and theologian Olivier Bonnassies argue that latest discoveries in science are the dawn of a new era in which science has become an ally to belief in God.
Bolloré and Bonnassies argue that we are at the dawn of a new revolution that challenges the consensus that science and faith are incompatible and helps to answer the oldest question: does God exist? They say that discoveries such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, the Big Bang and theories of expansion all point to the existence of God, so the pendulum of science has swung in the opposite direction. They take insights from 62 Nobel Prize winners and more than 100 leading scientists from cosmology to physics, biology and chemistry to argue that God is more alive than ever in science today. And they also look to philosophy, morality and history to find evidence for the existence of God.
‘A very welcome, interesting and easy-to-read book, which argues convincingly that the existence of a creator God, far from being negated by the scientific understanding of the Universe, is rationally supported by it. This is a remarkable work with hundreds of references citing leading contemporary scientists.’ John Lennox
Bolloré is a computer engineer and graduate of University of Paris Dauphine. Bonnassies has written widely on faith and reason and is creator of the world’s leading Catholic website Aleteia.
