3.00 Credits
This course fosters a dialogue between religion and science based on the premise that both disciplines seek and discover truth. The course investigates the new worldview emerging from the rapid growth in science since Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein, and it seeks to articulate the implications of this new worldview for religion, especially Judeo-Christianity. If the insights of evolutionary biology, quantum physics, big bang and inflation cosmology, chaos/complexity science are correct in whole or in part, then the worldview they describe may require some adjustments in the way religious people relate to God, the world, people, the environment, and ethics. These adjustments, though challenging, need not be threatening to traditional religion. On the contrary, they might even become an opportunity for a renewal of faith and a richer experience of God based on a mature view of the world that embraces the truths of science and religion.
