  • PHI 303: Space, Time and God

    4.00 Credits
    Oglethorpe University

    This course examines our conception of the universe as a totality, both in its own nature and in relation to an external cause. We will consider whether space and time are "absolute"realities or only systems of relations among objects, whether they are finite or infinite and whether or not there logically could exist space-time universes in addition to our own. The course will conclude with the question of whether our space-time universe is self-sufficient or requires an ultimate cause or explanation (God) outside of itself.
