Human creativity and the two roads to truth

Tony builds a breathtaking theory of human creativity in this talk. He begins by critiquing the dominance of the scientific method as the only road to truth. He points out that this dominance has been hostile to faith, and has patronised faith as anti-intellectual. But he points out the limitations of scientific logic, and in particular, its anti-humanistic assumptions. Then he offers an alternative thinking methodology whose origins he finds in Aristotle, whose ultimate manifestation he finds in all of human creativity (including strategy) - and whose mandate he finds in Genesis 1 and 2 and the command to rule creation. This talk summarises Tony's PhD thesis. If anyone wants to explore further reading on this, email tony on tony.gs@secondroad.com.au

What is glory?

In this talk I ask a question that might seem obvious but in fact is not – ‘What is glory?’ I confess that I never much asked this question for most of my early Christian life, so I just skated over the word and let it become a cliché.

Was Dawkins right about the angry God?

With his characteristic understated Scottish style, Iain brilliantly lays down the most basic foundation for our faith – the notion that God is not only eternal and sovereign but that he is fundamentally good and on our side.
