RS 245 Honors Religion and Science
This interdisciplinary course focuses on the way religion and science jointly contribute to our knowledge. It is based on the premise that no one source of knowledge, theological or otherwise, can alone provide a complete description of reality. Readings and guest lecturers from other disciplines will cover a wide-ranging dialogue dealing with issues in astronomy, physics, biology, and ecology. A spectrum of possibilities for the relation between religion and science will be considered, including the options of conflict, independence, dialogue, and interaction.
Prerequisite
Membership in the Honors Program or permission of the instructor.
