SCIN343

An examination of the historical and contemporary relationships of science, religion, and theology with particular emphasis upon an analysis of their common intellectual origins and foundations, their conceptual and normative distinctions, and the different languages and methods they use to attempt to establish existential, moral, and physical order in the world. The course's principal objective is to promote a critically reflective understanding of the natures of science and religion as human inquiries and forms of expression, and not the establishment of particular positions on the issues to be addressed.
