Einstein’s God: Science, Faith and the Wonder of Life
Using resources developed in conjunction with the NPR program “On Being with Krista Tippett,” we will consider two great scientific thinkers, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein, in the interweaving narrative of religion and science in the modern age. Join us for an engaging dialogue in matters of science and faith, exploring ethics, spirituality and basic questions of meaning in the context of our own lives.
