MIT's Professor Ian Hutchinson delivers the 2016 Clark Lectures

25/8/2016

 

The 2016 Clark Lectures - Teaser from The Scots College on Vimeo.

The beautiful Scots Church was filled to near capacity last Thursday evening as parents, students, staff and friends of the College were treated to an intellectual 'tour de force' by eminent MIT nuclear physicist Professor Ian Hutchinson. His 2016 Clark Lectures on 'Faith and Fusion: science and the sources of truth' addressed the putative clash between science and Christian faith. Surveying history, philosophy and contemporary science, he pointed to the religiously-inspired origins of science and the practice of modern scientists like him as strong reasons to view this clash as a myth. He answered a number of tough questions on nuclear fusion research, Genesis and the origins of the universe, and the relationship between science, relativism and truth.

To watch the full recording of his lecture and question time, simply copy and paste the following URL into your browser: www.vimeo.com/179854618/c71892c6b1.

The Clark Lecture brought to a conclusion a highly successful two-week visit during which time a wide range of boys, staff, universities, churches and the media engaged with the thought and faith of this superb scholar. For more information about Professor Hutchinson's other talks please visit www.clarklectures.org.

Initiatives like the annual Clark Lectures and Ethos Conference are run by the Scots Research Centre to inspire the best of thinking about faith, learning and leadership.
​
We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 Clark Lectures and at upcoming ScotsIdeas events.
