ISCAST and NZ Christians In Science are teaming up for a second series of Conversations this year. There will be 10 weekly online sessions where some of the most relevant and fascinating topics at the intersection of science and Christianity will be explored.

ISCAST is a network of people, from students to distinguished academics, exploring the interface of science, technology, and Christian faith. New Zealand Christians in Science, Te Kāhui Whakapono ki Nga Kaipūtaiao o Te Motu, are a group of scientists in industry and the academy who are Christians.

CONVERSATION 8 

Dialogue between scientists and theologians has become increasingly common as both groups seek some reproachment from the hostilities initiated by fundamentalists and anti-religious scientists (e.g., Dawkins, Krauss). However, there is often a missing dialogue partner in the discussion, philosophy, or more precisely metaphysics. Neither scientific nor theological, metaphysical assumptions often remain unaddressed by either party. Perhaps it is time for metaphysics to get reinserted into the dialogue.
