Are science and religion diametrically opposed forces? Can people of faith also follow the evidence of science? Is it possible or right to "believe" in science?
In November, HNOJ is going to tackle these questions and more in a three-part series - Science and Religion.
At each session a presenter from a field of the natural sciences will present a brief talk, Then a panalist of experts discuss the session's topic. The night will conclude with a a period of questions and answers from those in attendence.
We will be addressing the intersection of science and religion within topics such as AI, cosmology, medicine, miracles, evolution, the Eucharist and more.
Mark you calendars for 7-8:30 p.m. on Nov. 12, 19 and 26. More information coming soon!
