Great weekend with the Clare/Muzza girls (+ Joel 🙂) in Leamington Spa this weekend - @Cambridge_Eng alumni for life! Sadly Team 'Optimistic' did not win at Hatton Escape Rooms this year, but at least I made a new best friend, Roxy; & the canal walk was fun! #MEngGrads2012 📚🪛🎓

The UK government has announced plans to introduce a social media ban for under-16s by spring 2027.

Professor @Sander_vdLinden shares his reaction to today's news, and measures it against the evidence we already have about social media restrictions.

@glenscrivener @StMartinsVoices Recent some thing about morning prayer at @SLCCChelsea reminded me: The Lord has called you his own 🥰, you are his own ✝️

[Glen Scrivener @glenscrivener]

Fear not for I have redeemed you,
I have called you by name,
You are mine.

@ddinman, saw this yesterday & thought of you! 😅
Not AI generated but a new graphics design for a bus in East London/Essex #Reform. And as luck would have it, the exact same TfL (in it's usual design) bus came the other way. Maybe they do 'British' hair loss pills too? 😉

I personally think Great British Railways should have been partnered with great British brands to be spared the aesthetic of Gen X New Labourites #greatbritishrailways

[Steven Bartlett @StevenBartlett]

“We now find ourselves in a world where we understand how almost everything works, but we know the meaning of nothing.”

That's not a religious argument. That's a scientific one.

And this isn’t coming from someone who abandoned logic to find faith…

Today’s guest is John Lennox, a mathematician who has spent 70 years interrogating faith with logic, science, philosophy, and evidence and somehow came out the other side more convinced.,

I sat down with John as I wanted a conversation not only around religion, but how AI is making every one of us ask religious-sized questions.

We discussed things like:

- Why artificial intelligence is still artificial
- The difference between simulating intelligence and possessing consciousness
- Human dignity in the age of AI and why it matters more, not less
- Loneliness and why it makes us vulnerable to fake connection
- The peace that most of us are actually searching for

I didn’t feel like I was being pushed towards an answer.

Instead I was being invited to think more honestly about the questions.

You do not have to share his faith to learn from the way he thinks.

For anyone asking what makes us human in a world of machines, this is a conversation I would really recommend.

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

This is a great talk! His book is fantastic too, I would highly recommend reading it! 🙂✝️⛪️

"The wisdom of small things" 🦎🐜 🐰

Revd Dr Tim Ward, lecturer in hermeneutics, preaches from Proverbs 30 on four "small but extremely wise" creatures, helping us to delight and worship Christ as we meditate on them.

Full talk on YouTube and Spotify (Chapel Talks)

Can't wait to listen to this! Arguably @ProfJohnLennox's biggest Christian-Scientist fan! :D

[Justin Brierley @JusBrierley]

A full but marvellous day at @YarntonManor recording an edition of Uncommon Ground with @ProfJohnLennox & @UnsolAdv1641 and then an interview with @AJWTheology about 1776.

Friends!
I've found these 3 videos v. interesting in explaining why God is love & the Trinity (God existing as 3 'Persons'). I'll create a video soon, however it'll be based on the recourses found here: https://t.co/9KBSLBIgL4
Yours in Christ!

Good man! Agreed 👍

“What I'd like to happen is a kind of reshaping of the NHS… that would guarantee more people a death with dignity.”

Bishop Rowan Williams calls for changes to healthcare instead of legalised assisted dying.

What amazing technologies here 😍

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

Happiest birthday to my youngest brother @dmakuni (used to go by @DJDMakz😉). To celebrate online, I've decided to dig up some old pictures of when we were young! Wishing you many more years, not just as a brother but also as a father to baby Ezra. Love you lots!! Taffi ❤️xxx

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

Folks! I am really excited about this conference! I'll be attending online - book if you can! You can work listen alongside working 😉. Relevant to this, thrilled for @janetmsewell* & Pastor Mehran** for the birth of Elijah!

还挺有创意的，说不定义乌能把它做成实物

[Glen Scrivener @glenscrivener]

Two statements, worlds apart:

"God loved us so Jesus died."

"Jesus died so God would love us."

The former is biblical (cf John 3:16; Rom. 5:8-9; 1 John 4:8-10)

The latter is not, yet it's communicated (explicitly or implicitly) in so much evangelism. ☹️

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

@glenscrivener It'll be great to meet you too! I'll be there on the Friday but not the Saturday due to a different church engagement! Hopefully you'll sign my book (rather your book)! :)

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

Finally finished to listening to this & what I found most interesting is that in 1 Cor 7 I always thought Paul was pro-content (reminded me of the French abolishing the marital duty to have sex). @glenscrivener Ive bought your book & excited for the Cam Apologetics conf. in June!

[Dr Tafara Estelle Makuni @eyeceonline]

Haha, excited about this episode too (@CosmicSkeptic/@glenscrivener)! Can't wait to hear about what the Black Church did/didn't get right 😄.
