FREE PUBLIC LECTURE – ALL WELCOME

"God: the failed hypothesis. How science shows that god does not exist."

For centuries the existence of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God was never questioned. Millions of people throughout history have believed the Universe was created by a supreme being. In the 21st century however, religion is being seriously challenged.

Modern Physics and Cosmology has provided us with a huge array of scientific evidence which explains the origin and evolution of the Cosmos. God does not appear in any of the data.
Not only is there a total lack of evidence for god, but the evidence clearly points to his non-existence. The god of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition is one who not only creates the Universe but actively participates in its functioning right down to the subatomic level.

What is more, god listens to every human thought and participates in each action of his creation. A god with that much influence would be easily detected scientifically. None of the evidence gathered by scientists even suggests the existence of a god.

Presented by: Mr Glenn Urquhart.
Former President of Auckland Astronomical Society and Manager of Auckland Observatory with thirty years experience as an Astronomy Educator. Member of Auckland Astronomical Society and New Zealand Association of Rationalists and Humanists.

Venue: The University of Auckland Business school, Owen G.Glenn Building, ( Caseroom 3 ),
12 Grafton Rd, Auckland.

Date: Tuesday 18th of May, 2010

Time: 7:30 pm

Please be seated 15 minutes before start of presentation.
