Science and Religion

In May, Mr. Walker Bowman, who is a retired scientist, will present on the subject of science and religion.  It has been said that science relies on objectivity whereas religion relies on subjectivity. 

 

In Science and Religion: Historical and Contemporary Issues Ian Barbour explores process philosophy as a bridge for religion and science.  This edition is a revised and updated version of Religion in an Age of Science.

 

Our discussion will be greatly enriched by Walker's insights from the scientific field as a person of faith. 

 

Also, this is the month we will plan the next season, so please bring your suggestions.  There are already two recommendations:

 

(1) Chris Walters has recommended and offered to present in September on Challenging Nature: The Clash of Science and Spirituality at the New Frontiers of Life by Lee M. Silver

 

(2) H. D. Mitchell and Emery Percell have recommended Waiting for Gospel: An Appeal to the Dispirited Remnants of Protestant Establishment, by Douglas John Hall.
