Dr Allan Chapman, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, lecturer in the history of science at the University of Oxford, will be speaking at St Mary’s Church, Marlborough 7.30pm on Thursday 29th November. He will address issues such as the popular misunderstandings about key events in the history of science-faith relations; give a potted history of how Galileo and Copernicus mapped the stars and were part of a huge movement, which included many churchmen, questing for knowledge of the skies; and bring us up to date with developments over the last three centuries.
