How do you feel about living forever? And should you want to? Listen in to my conversation with Stephen Cave in which we talk about immortality, both religious and scientific: readingourtimes.podigee.io

From the quest for immortality to the search for alien life, AI, abortion or genetic editing, science is making strides that pose BIG questions about what it means to be human.

Join Nick Spencer and Paul Woolley ن as they unpack these questions on 15 May.licc.org.uk/events/playing…

There are few people I would rather talk about AI, ethics and the soul with than Eve Poole. I hope you enjoy & profit from our conversation as much as I did. readingourtimes.podigee.io

I am looking forward to Playing God with Paul Woolley ن LICC in a couple of weeks. What should I do with him? licc.org.uk/events/playing…

'We've never tried to make a tool that would replace us... it's very brave and ambitious, and we know from storytelling, possibly ill fated'

'Kate Forbes can’t lead the party, let alone the country, because she’s a Christian. No, that’s not fair. It’s because she’s the wrong kind of Christian, the kind that believes… ooh, wrong, archaic, bad things.' theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…

One of those little things that makes life better. Thank you, whoever you are!

Look out Korea. Magisteria has landed. South rather than North, I imagine.

What does it mean to live well in a world where the very concept of personhood is up for debate? 🤔

It's a question you've often asked yourself. Now, finally, definitively answers, kind of: shepherd.com/best-books/sci…

👽 What would it mean for us if aliens are real? 👽

In particular, what would it mean for our pride, dignity, or belief systems that emphasise the human species?

Join Nick Spencer as he speaks with Andrew Davison on this week's episode of Reading our Times 🎧 youtube.com/watch?v=c5vqy1…

Should we be playing God? Perhaps surprisingly, in our latest #ConnectingWithCulture , Nick Spencer says 'yes'. Because as creatures in the image of God, we’re called to reflect his character and enact his purposes for the good of those around us. Read more: bit.ly/3w8x3Ll

'I shall go into death trusting that the decision I have made about what makes most sense to me will be shown to be true.” What more can any of us hope to say? theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…

'At the heart of all this – his care for the poor, his integrity, his kindness, his perseverance – was a serious and pervasive Christian faith.'

In light of the sad news of Frank Field's death, Nick Spencer wrote about how faith informed his politics.theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…

Very sad to hear of the death of Frank Field. Outstanding campaigner, politician and Christian. Prepared to think differently. A friend of Theos Think Tank , even appeared on our launch debate panel in 2006, albeit slightly pissed! May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

I'm greatly looking forward to speaking to the incomparable Paul Woolley ن at LICC on aliens, AI, animals, abortion, mental health, pandemics... well, lots really. Please come and join us: licc.org.uk/events/playing…

There are some extraordinary things going on in Sydney. Here Simon Smart from Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) explains what's going on. Have a hankie ready. theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…

Next up in Reading our Times… we get a message from the skies. From a distant civilisation... smart(er than us). And we feel threatened. Should we? How do we respond to the prospect of alien life? My conversation with Andrew Davison on Astrobiology here: readingourtimes.podigee.io
