History is littered with examples of religion opposing scientific progress. As science has advanced, so the world has become increasingly secular. But then the scientific method did arise in a very religious world, and most of the founders of modern science were deeply religious.

So is religion fundamentally opposed to science? What is the relationship between belief in God and the scientific method?
Join us online to listen to Dr Denis Alexander's lecture, Science: sacred or secular? There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
