Now\, unexpectedly\, science appears to have become God’s ally.” From the Introduction of God\, The Science\, The Evidence \n\n\n\nFresh Perceptions on Reality is a half-day conference coming to Oxford on Friday 23 January 2026\, running from 2.00pm to 6.00pm at Wolfson College. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public\, the afternoon event brings together leading scientific and intellectual voices to explore some of humanity’s most enduring questions in the light of modern discoveries. \n\n\n\nThe conference features a distinguished line-up of speakers\, including Sir Roger Penrose\, Andrew Briggs and John C. Lennox\, alongside Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies\, authors of the international bestseller God\, The Science\, The Evidence. \n\n\n\nThe book has sold more than 400\,000 copies worldwide and has attracted widespread attention in the UK\, with coverage across The Sunday Times\, The Daily Telegraph\, The London Standard\, BBC Radio 4’s Today programme and BBC News. \n\n\n\nAcross the afternoon\, speakers will examine questions that sit at the heart of both science and philosophy: Where does the universe come from? Are we here by chance? And what do recent advances in quantum physics\, cosmology and artificial intelligence mean for how we understand reality itself? \n\n\n\nOnce seen as incompatible\, science and belief are increasingly being revisited together as new evidence reshapes long-held assumptions. \n\n\n\nDrawing on insights from physics\, cosmology and beyond\, the discussions reflect a growing reassessment of the relationship between scientific discovery and belief\, sometimes described as a “great reversal”. Ideas emerging from relativity\, quantum mechanics\, the Big Bang and the fine-tuning of the universe have reopened debates that many believed were long settled. \n\n\n\nGod\, The Science\, The Evidence distils research and perspectives from more than 100 leading scientists\, including insights linked to 62 Nobel Prize winners\, and extends the conversation beyond science alone to philosophy\, morality and history. \n\n\n\nPraised for being both rigorous and accessible\, the book invites readers – and now conference audiences – to reconsider how science shapes our understanding of existence and whether reality points beyond itself. \n\n\n\nFresh Perceptions on Reality offers an opportunity for Oxford audiences to engage with these ideas firsthand\, in an open and thought-provoking forum that encourages curiosity\, debate and a deeper exploration of one of humanity’s most profound questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“A very welcome\, interesting and easy to read book which argues convincingly that the existence of a creator God\, far from being negated by the scientific understanding of the Universe\, is rationally supported by it. This is a remarkable work with hundreds of references citing leading contemporary scientists.” \n\n\n\nJohn C. Lennox\, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics\, University of Oxford\, author of Can Science Explain Everything? \n\n\n\n\n\n“This book is a very good presentation of the development of the Big Bang theory and its impact on our beliefs and our representation of the world…As the Big Bang theory suggests\, if the Universe had a beginning\, then we cannot avoid the question of creation.” \n\n\n\nRobert Wilson\, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation \n\n\n\n\n\n“The book highlights in a remarkable and rigorous manner how the latest scientific advances point towards a creator God. Wonderfully documented\, it also introduces many renowned scientists who advocated for a dynamic harmony and osmosis between their discoveries and the idea of a creator at the origin of all things.” \n\n\n\nStephanie Reader\, Evangelical and specialist in the field of programmed cell death\, author of Is it Possible? When Science and Faith Meet \n\n\n\n\n\n“The amazing advances in science and cosmology over the past century raise fundamental questions about our existence…Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies explore these questions in a highly readable way\, and give a personal account of how their answers lead them to a warranted belief in God.” \n\n\n\nAndrew Briggs\, Professor of Physics\, University of Oxford\, author of The Penultimate Curiosity \n\n\n\n\n\n“This book thus provides a strong\, rational argument for the reality of a creator God that is very comforting to those with a scientific mindset. Highly recommended!” \n\n\n\nEben Alexander\, MD\, author of Proof of Heaven \n\n\n\n\n\n“This book represents an innovation. It demonstrates that it is no longer ‘credible’ to pit science against faith…[The book] widens our field of reasoning and is an invitation to wonder.” \n\n\n\nCardinal Robert Sarah\, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree event \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 23 January 2026 at 2.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n4 hours URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/fresh-perceptions-on-reality-conference/ LOCATION:Leonard Wolfson Auditorium\, Wolfson College\, Linton Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6UD CATEGORIES:Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Fresh-Perceptions-on-Reality-Conference.webp GEO:51.7710407;-1.2556339 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Leonard Wolfson Auditorium Wolfson College Linton Road Oxford OX2 6UD;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Wolfson College\, Linton Road:geo:-1.2556339,51.7710407 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260121T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260121T193000 DTSTAMP:20251215T214421Z CREATED:20251215T214414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251215T214421Z UID:10011717-1769023800-1769023800@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Simon Yates of Touching the Void – My Mountain Life DESCRIPTION:Simon Yates of Touching the Void – My Mountain Life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Simon Yates of Touching the Void – My Mountain Life\n\n\n\nA fascinating and humorous evening\, acclaimed by both regular theatre patrons and outdoor enthusiasts alike! \n\n\n\nOn the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985\, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner\, Joe Simpson\, dangling on the rope 50 metres below. \n\n\n\nHis decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic of survival that followed and with the publication of the book ‘Touching The Void’\, later film and stage play\, both climbers became household names. \n\n\n\nIt was an experience that could have put many off the sport of mountaineering – but not Simon. Over 35 years later\, he is still a very active exploratory climber and guide\, making several expeditions to the mountains each year. From the Arctic to the Antarctic\, Alaska to Central Asia\, there is hardly a significant range that he has not visited. \n\n\n\nCome along and witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama\, excitement and beauty of modern\, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit\, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Simon is a totally engaging speaker\, who both entertains and inspires.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£21.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 21 January 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.
