Cosmologies Old and New
Cosmology is the story of the Universe and the context it provides for understanding the meaning of life. Join us for a day of reflection and exploration on the implications of how science is influencing Christian faith. The day will deal initially with traditional cosmologies and how they answered the big questions about creation and the meaning of life. We will then look at how these beliefs began to lose their appeal in the face of revelations of modern science. Finally, we will explore how faith and science can rhyme. A challenging and informative day is promised!
