Event overview
Why agnosticism is vital for the future of our planet
In Science, Religion and the Meaning of Life, Mark Vernon confronts the lust for certainty found in the dogmatism of conservative religion and militant science. He believes that a committed even passionate agnosticism is vital for the future of our planet and our souls. But how can you be an agnostic and why does it matter?
