Werner Heisenberg, the Father of Quantum Physics, said "The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist; but at the bottom of the glass, God, is waiting."

Love John Lennox. Intelligent, eloquent, warm, confident yet humble. May God bless him for his ministry in defense of the Christian faith.

[elnavanrensburg]

Prof Lennox’s words are like gifts from God. Oh thank you Prof for sharing your wisdom with us. Every time I listen to Prof L (even over and over to the same lecture) I get more and more! Love this humble wise and brilliant man.

I've been saying this same thing for years but I've been using the wrong terms to describe it. Hats off to John Lennox for telling us a more convincing way of explaining what's obvious to Christians and other believers. It's a different category.

[blondegiraffe]

Brilliant man. Using his mind and heart to bring glory to God.

[owrah]

I believe, an honest study of how science works will lead you to faith in a creator.

[macdermesser]

This scholar is very accessible but also very stimulating. Brilliant.

[robbyphillips]

Amen to that! He has 3 Phds, js the preeminent professor of of mathematics at Oxford University. And yet, his knowledge of Christ, and his humility, is itself humbling. His prsentations in his field, guided by his commitment to Christ as Lord, and his Christian apologetics, draw you in.

[alinucalinuc]

God bless prof Lennox, he is a beacon of light and reason in this infantile world!

[calebyoung]

The more I watch Mr. Lennox the more I like him. He is like Jordan B. Peterson and Thomas Sowell in that they explain very complex ideas, that are ingrained in us, very simply without being insulting or condescending.

[sunilpsych]

Very helpful points especially how faith of itself is not a religious concept. The key is what do you put your faith in

[Practical.Wisdom]

Thank you all for your engaging comments and interest in our video! John has also authored a book, 'God and Stephen Hawking', which is a response to Hawking’s 'The Grand Design'.
Next interview – Noam Chomsky.

Thank u all for doing these high-end and high-quality questions. timely in need also.

[mattpowell]

You can choose both God and science. Science confirms and explains what God has created.

[martinnyirenda]

Wow! Glad I listened. You have helped me to understand that items need to be placed in their right category. If no proper definition or understanding is established, it is easy to respond to questions from a different category and nothing really gets answered

[flutterboypr]

May God give him health and many years to live.

[Hoio]

The christian claim is not "We don't know, therefore God did it.". The christian claim is far grander - God created everything, including that, which we know, that, which we don't know, that, which we could some day learn and understand and that, which we could never learn and understand.

[giselereynolds]

May God bless brother Lennox! A true man of God

[Daivy]

Thank you for sharing your gift of wisdom and debunking the separation of God and science that has been pushed by acadamia and industry for decades now. King Jesus lives

[rubiks]

I really need to incorporate many of these ideas into my ordinary thinking. They sound wonderful here but when I turn and have a conversation with someone, these ideas about categories do not quickly come to mind and when I hear someone make a "category error, " it does not immediately come to mind that that's what they've done.

I've revisited this discussion three times already.
