Are faith and science opposed to each other? Do miracles matter?  Can physics explain creation without a creator? What is consciousness? Does evolution contradict the faith?

Dr. Stephen Barr, physicist and president of the Society of Catholic Scientists, will explore these questions and many more.  In these lectures Prof. Barr will show that the widespread idea that faith and science are opposed to each other is based on misconceptions about the history of science, about Catholic teaching, and about what science has actually discovered.

He will discuss how fundamental Catholic beliefs dovetail with the basic assumptions of science; how the Catholic Church powerfully contributed to the founding and development of science; and the creation of the universe from the viewpoint of both Catholic theology and modern cosmology. Learn how the doctrine of the human “spiritual soul” does not conflict with modern science, and how the idea of biological evolution is consistent with a Christian conception of the universe.
