Is there truth beyond science?
Mathematics professor John Lennox (Oxford) and philosophy professor Larry Shapiro (UW-Madison) explore whether truth can exist beyond what is scientifically observable. They discuss how science interacts with religion, the existence of different types of understanding, and whether there can be justified belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God no more conflicts with science as an explanation for the universe than Henry Ford conflicts with the law of internal combustion as an explanation for the motorcar engine.

For me, there is, of course, truth beyond science. Ultimately, truth is a person who created the world in which science was done ... I hold this worldview to be the most satisfying, both intellectually and emotionally.
It's logical, if [Jesus] is raised from the dead, that he can be encountered. I've lived long enough to see many people's lives transformed [by Jesus].
The fact that we can do science points to an intelligence behind the universe. The fact that we discover ourselves to be moral beings points to a moral being behind the universe.
