Scientific theories about the origin and structure of the universe communicate deeply held beliefs about meaning and purpose. In this short course, we’ll explore pictures of the cosmos both ancient and modern, examining how Christians responded to Greek and Roman accounts of the cosmos and how Christians today think about the Big Bang, cosmological constants, and quantum theory. We’ll be joined by a variety of guest faculty in the sciences to lead discussion.
Instructors: organized by Jeff Bennett, featuring guest faculty Dr. Brandon Fain, Dr. James Nolen, Dr. Chris Clemens
