Science & ReligionThe New Nexus
A defining dialogue on how an expanding scientific understanding of the universe and biology is opening new, compatible expressions of faith, drawing on historic connections found in Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
A New Dialogue Between Science & Faith
For much of the past century, the prevailing assumption has been that science and religion represent opposing worldviews. Yet as scientific understanding of the universe and biology expands, a growing number of scientists see these discoveries as compatible with, and even supportive of, renewed expressions of faith. This perspective reflects historic connections between science and religion found in Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Our program brings these ideas to an audience of students, lay people, and scientists. The goal is not to force unity, but to explore the diverse ways scientists have come to embrace a religious orientation through their own experiences.
