    Chaminade University of Honolulu

    Can a person meaningfully believe in God in a world of quantum indeterminacy? Can the many discourses of the world's religions help us to find hope in a world that the sciences tell us started with a big bang and is evolving towards a heated death? This course brings the method of the philosophy of science and that of the philosophy of religion to focus on what the sciences and religions actually do and what their respective perspectives tell us about our realities. It will be argued that contrary to the customary image of sciences and religions locked in conflict, these inquiries actually share a domain of mutual interest. Offered in alternate years. Cross listed as RE 425. Fulfills the interdisciplinary requirement. Prerequisites: RE 103 or RE 205, or permission of the instructor.
