Does Science make God unnecessary?

In today’s Unbelievable? school debate, Zachary Ardern, a Christian biologist, and Alex Carter, an atheist scientist, face off on whether scientific progress has made belief in God obsolete.

Hosted by Andy Kind, the discussion dives into the biggest questions of all:

  • Can science explain everything, or does it point beyond itself?
  • Is faith irrational in the age of reason?
  • What counts as evidence for God?
  • Are morality and meaning possible without a creator?

From the fine-tuning of the universe to the limits of human understanding, Zach and Alex debate whether God remains the best explanation or whether naturalism is more than enough to disprove the existence of a God. What do you think?

Dr Zachary Ardern is an Evolutionary Biologist at a research institute in Cambridge.

Dr Alex Carter is the Academic Director for Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Cambridge, Institute of Continuing Education.
