The Magic of Nature: A guided tour in the Natural History Museum, London
Saturday 31st March 2012
A full day tour examining some of the most striking specimens on display in the Natural History Museum.

What explains the sense of awe we experience at Nature's wonders? Why do leading scientists consider that Darwin's work invalidated the 'argument from design'; and how can we distinguish objective reality from illusion that leads to delusion?
