The following night, Fixed Point will sponsor a discussion between Dawkins and Lennox at the Oxford Museum of Natural History at 7:00 p.m. Both scientists will discuss atheism, the Christian faith, and the claims of their respective books: The God Delusion and God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? The building marks the historical site of the famed evolution debate of 1860 between Thomas Huxley and Bishop Samuel Wilberforce.

Richard Dawkins and John Lennox met for the first time in Birmingham, Alabama this past October for another event sponsored by Fixed Point, The God Delusion Debate. The debate, moderated by United States Federal Judge William H. Pryor, examined six theses from Dawkins' book The God Delusion. Garnering the attention of Fox News, Wall Street Journal, London Times, and BBC Radio, the event took place in front of a sold out crowd of almost 1,400. Fixed Point is seeking to generate further public interest on this topic by taking the two men back to their hometown for another event.

The event will take place, NOT in the lecture theatre but in the main court of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Parks Road, Oxford. A maximum of 500 tickets will be sold, but there are only 150 chairs. So any surplus over 150 (up to a maximum of 350) will have to stand. The 150 chairs will be occupied on a first come first served basis.

Tickets can be bought at the box office of the Oxford Playhouse.

This event is hosted by Fixed Point Foundation, for more information go to: http://www.fixed-point.org/billboard/billboard.asp?ItemID=47
