Bill Nye draws on his reputation as the "Science Guy" to inform us that humans are "insignificant" specks living on a planet that orbits "an unremarkable star," while astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, of Cosmos fame, describes God as "an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance."

Are they right? Are humans really the insignificant products of a blind, uncaring cosmos that did not have us in mind? Is belief in God the enemy of scientific progress? What is the true nature of scientific inquiry and its relationship to faith? Explore these questions and more at the sixth annual Westminster Conference on Science and Faith, March 20-21, near Philadelphia.
