* Science, Reason and Faith, Lecture Series ~ Interactive

It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.

~ Max Planck, recipient of the Nobel prize in physics

About the series

"Science, Reason and Faith is a lecture series featuring some of the world’s most prominent and engaging scientists, philosophers and theologians. The speakers will address several important questions at the nexus of science, reason and faith: Is Intelligent Design a genuine scientific theory? What is our place in the universe? Is it reasonable to believe in God? Can science tell us whether prayer works? Do our genes hold evidence for belief? Are God and evolution compatible? Open online discussions will continue the conversation after each event."

Sponsors

"This series is made possible by the College of Humanities and Sciences and the Office of the President of Virginia Commonwealth University. Additional support provided by the Metanexus Institute and the John Templeton Foundation."

“God’s signs,” George W. Bush declared, “are not always the ones we look for. We learn in tragedy that his purposes are not always our own...Neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth can separate us from God’s love. May he bless the souls of the departed, may he comfort our own, and may he always guide our country.”
That was said on September 14, 2001, three days after the World Trade Center horror. Reverend Bush's sermon made me feel even worse.

I absolutely believe what Ellie [Contact] believes--that there is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see?

I don't believe in Heaven and Hell," he says. "I don't know if I believe in God. All I know is that as an individual, I won't allow this life--the only thing I know to exist--to be wasted.
