Lennox vs. Dawkins

If you have not already heard, The God Delusion Debate taking place this Wednesday at the Alys Stephens Center (see our post by clicking here) has sold out. According to The Birmingham News, the BBC and NPR will be recording the debate for their own purposes, but according to the Fixed-Point Foundation’s website, the event will be broadcast live on the Moody Broadcasting Network and streamed on their website. They will have feeds available for both RealPlayer and Windows Media Player.

The debate will feature Dr. John Lennox (pictured left) and Professor Richard Dawkins.

Does God exist? Hear two sides next week Wednesday

That’s when John Lennox will debate Richard Dawkins at the Alys Stephens Center. While information has been out in public for weeks, we’ve noticed a recent upswing in the online buzz about the event. It’s being sponsored by the Fixed Point Foundation, a Birmingham-based Christian “think-tank” organization.

Dawkins is a respected intellectual and known atheist while John Lennox is a Christian apologist and scientist. Both gentlemen work in Oxford,England; Lennox is Reader in Mathematics and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green College, University of Oxford while Dawkins is Fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. So basically, it’s going to be a good one. Click on over to Good News to learn more about the event from its original press release.

Lennox has been interviewed on WBHM – click here to listen to or read the conversation.

A look at the new bishop

Bishop Baker Portrait - Catholic Diocese Of CharlestonConsidering that Birmingham’s (and the state of Alabama’s) been waiting for the appointment of a new bishop since 2005 to replace retiring Bishop David Foley (it was originally delayed due to the death of Pope John Paul II), we figured it would be interesting to see just what makes this new guy tick. There’s no better way than by hearing from the man himself, so take a look at how Bishop Robert Baker, the new head guy at St. Paul’s and the state of Alabama, started his goodbyes at his current post in Charleston, SC.

He assumes his post here in Alabama on October 2.
