Something I think it would be worth sending round for thinking about

Josh has been doing a good job liaising so far, but I think it's probably worth sending these out to you all

Subject: Possible Reasons To Believe speaker event/debate for May

Hi Josh

I hope you are well. My name is Justin, I work for Premier Christian Radio. I was involved in various aspects of the William Lane Craig tour in October, which of course stopped at Imperial.

I wanted to let you know that I am organising an apologetics conference for 26 May where US Christian astronomer Hugh Ross and apologist Ken Samples, both from Reasons To Believe, will be speaking.  Both are great communicators with loads of experience responding to sceptics questions.

I'm hoping to give them a chance to present the evidence from the universe and science for God to a student audience (big bang, fine tuning of the universe) while they are over and wondered if there may be any chance of ICCU hosting them on Monday 28 May either in the day or evening?

This could be in a debate format with an atheist scientist, or it could be in a Q&A format which invites sceptical interaction.  I think it could be a great chance to outreach to Imperial students who think that science and god are incompatible.

Let me know if you think this may be something you would be interested in.

Thanks
Justin
