Hamza Andreas Tzortzis – The Big Debates: Islam Or Atheism – Which Makes More Sense?

About this lecture

In this landmark London debate, Islamic thinker Hamza Andreas Tzortzis and renowned cosmologist Professor Lawrence Krauss go head-to-head on the question of which worldview — Islam or atheism — makes more rational sense. Tzortzis presents two deductive arguments: one grounded in the philosophical necessity of a finite universe pointing to an uncreated Creator, and one based on the inimitable literary form of the Quran. Krauss challenges the validity of deductive reasoning in science, offers a naturalistic account of cosmic origins, and raises pointed questions about the moral and rational coherence of religious belief. The exchange ranges across cosmology, philosophy of causality, the nature of infinity, Quranic linguistics, and the foundations of morality.
