SUMMARY:Miracles: A Question of History or Playing with the Laws of Nature? – Hamilton Reasons For Faith
DESCRIPTION:March 31 2026 7:00pm – 9:00 pm\nLady Goodfellow Chapel\, University of Waikato campus\, gate one \nA dilemma faced by any serious student of the Bible is that embedded within the text are strange tales of demons exorcised\, water turned into wine\, the lame healed\, the blind seeing and even people walking on water and being resurrected from the dead! What are we to make of these stories? Are they real\, as the historical record seems to suggest – or are they simple fabrications of a primitive\, pre-scientific people who were ignorant of the very Laws of Nature. If they are fairy tales\, why are they reported in such a straight-forward way\, without any seeming embellishment? If these so-called miracles did happen\, doesn’t that upset the very basis of our understanding of the physical universe? If miracles are possible does that imply that God plays dice with the universe? \nDavid G. Wareham\, Ph.D \nOriginally from Canada\, David Wareham has Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo and a Ph.D in Environmental Engineering from the University of British Columbia. After spending 30 years in academia\, he retired as an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering with the last 5 years of his career being also the International Dean and the Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor for the College of Engineering at the University of Canterbury\, New Zealand. \nDavid is the author or co-author of over 75 refereed journal and conference papers and has spent time teaching and researching in Australia\, Hong Kong\, India\, Tunisia\, Israel and Kazakhstan. David has a long-standing interest in apologetics\, participating in a number of University of Canterbury apologetic events: including various “God and Science” panels. He has given several presentations at both Thinking Matter Conferences and the Christchurch Forge\, the local branch of Thinking Matters. \nDavid has been married to Julia for 36 years and they both love travelling\, hiking and spending time in fellowship with their friends.
