Actually, a really good point of view on the ideas of faith and mistaking science for objectivity (and this guy isn't a looney preacher, he's professor of Mathematics and Mathematical philosophy at Oxford University), and the subjectivity of experience.

This guy is also pretty famous for debating the "new atheists" Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins:

Note: I didn't post this to preach, I just posted this because I realized there are very few intelligent opinions on faith and science from scientists that have very much exposure, so I post this in a hope to maybe make people think and to fuel debate. that's all. while I agree with some of John Lennox's points, I disagree on the subjectivity of morality; morality can be drawn from more than god I believe, and who is to say which god we draw morality from?

EDIT: made a mistake on the title of this speech.
