I am looking for a theologian, probably, to participate in an event on scientism, non-overlapping magesteria, etc. on June 8th, with Peter Atkins and philosopher David Papineau. Any suggestions? A woman contributor would be especially welcome given it's all guys at the moment.
I have always voted Labour, and have often been a member of the Party, campaigning and canvassing for them. For what it’s worth, here’s my feeling about voting Labour next General Election: 1. When the left vote Labour after they move rightwards, they are encouraged to just move further right, to the point where they are now probably right of where e.g. John Major’s Tory party was. And each time the Tories go further right still. At some point we have got to stop fuelling this toxic drift to the right by making the Labour Party realise that it’s going to start costing them votes. I can’t think of anything politically more important than halting this increasingly frightening rightward slide. So I am no longer voting Labour. 2. If a new socialist party starts up, it could easily hoover up many of the 200k former LP members who have left in disgust (I’d join), and perhaps also pick up union affiliations. They could become the second biggest party by membership quite quickly. Our voting

Sharon Dirckx was on unbelievable with justin brierley a few weeks ago. she has a science background and has written a book: “Why? God, Evil and Personal Suffering”.
He is a member of the movement Communion and Liberation, founded by Luigi Giussani, a movement which insists on applying christian values in everyday life.
The reason why I think he would be an interesting speaker is that he seems to totally accepts scientific facts but claims to believe in god in the same way as when you fall in love with a person your friends can't bear. You hear the evidence they bring out but it doesn't diminish your love for the person. I think that you could show how this type of argument is spurious.
However, Mr.Albacete is american, so I guess there might be practical reasons making his presence at your event problematic.
I still wanted to mention him though, maybe for another time, and because he is a sophisticated theologian whose ability to square faith with scientific scepticism is interesting/annoying.
