What is the place of religion in an age of science? Assuming one can still believe in God today, what view of God is consistent with scientific understanding? How can the search for meaning and purpose in life be fulfilled in the kind of a world disclosed by science? Alfred North Whitehead observed that the two strongest influences on humankind, religion and science, seem to be set against one another. It is no exaggeration to say that the future course of history depends upon the decision of this generation as to the relationship between them. This course seeks areas of reconciliation between the force of our religious institutions and the force of our desire for accurate observation and logical deduction. It is an introduction for non-experts to the central issues in science and religion today, with some focus on the interrelationship of science, spirituality, and worship.
