7-21 May 2026 | Conspiracy theories are everywhere, and Christians are not immune. In this three-part series, the ISCAST–NZCIS Conversations 2026 brings together scholars from across science, theology, and technology to explore why conspiracy theories spread, who believes them, and what resources Christian faith offers for navigating a world awash with misinformation.
The 2025 ISCAST–NZCIS Conversation Series introduces intergenerational dialogue. Each week, an experienced voice pairs with a younger scholar to explore the meeting point of science and Christian faith. Through personal and professional reflection, they’ll share shifting insights, before opening the floor for audience questions and lively, thought-provoking exchange.
