SUMMARY:Science and Faith: Non-Overlapping Magisteria?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n5:30 Reception | 6:00pm Discussion \nCo-sponsored by The Columbia University Seminar on Catholicism\, Culture and Modernity\, the Columbia Catholic Ministry\, and the Society of Catholic Scientists. This programming is made possible by a grant from the Templeton Foundation. \nA Discussion with Stephen Barr (University of Delaware)\, Jonathan Lunine (Cornell University)\, moderated by Carlo Lancellotti (CUNY Staten Island). \nIn reaction to Pope John Paul II’s 1996 address to the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences\, “Truth Cannot Contradict Truth”\, Stephen Jay Gould famously published his view on religion and science being non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA). He proposed that religion and science were distinct and separate domains of teaching authority\, with no interference between–or influence upon–each other. Gould maintained that science documents the factual character of the natural world and seeks theoretical constructs to explain those facts\, while religion operates on the “realm of human purposes\, meanings\, and values.” \nThis consensus position proved popular among scientists and people of faith for its diplomacy\, but is such a model sufficient for understanding the relationship between faith and science? Can science inform faith? Does religious thinking shape our approach towards science and its application\, and does that necessarily contradict NOMA? Come as two Catholic scientists weigh in on the chasms and connections of Science and Religion.

SUMMARY:The Human Person in an Age of Biotechnology: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Click here to watch part 2. \nWe are at the very outset of the Age of Biotechnology. This presses anew questions regarding the limits of the human person. What is the human species from the point of view of evolutionary biology? How malleable is this definition? Is there such a thing as a species? How does this compare to philosophical perspectives on the person? The questions above are not new\, but they have acquired new urgency with recent advances in biotechnology. In ths symposium\, six distinguished scholars discuss these and other pressing questions in two panels–the first addressing these issues in the practice of science and application of biotechnology in the world\, and the second addressing these issues from the point of theory.\nCosponsored by the Program on Religion and Medicine at the University of Chicago\,the Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion\, the Theology and Ethics Workshop\, the Society of Catholic Scientists\, and McCormick Theological Seminary. This program is made possible by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation and the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nSchedule: \nPanel 1 — Praxis \nGaymon Bennett (Arizona State University): “The Algorithm and the Spirit: Big Tech and the Enchantments of Biotechnology” \nJohn Novembre (University of Chicago): “The expanding scope for genetic discrimination: New genetic predictors and their challenges” \nStephen Meredith (University of Chicago): “Brave New World: Revisited – Revisited.” \nModerator: Victoria Prince (University of Chicago) \nPanel 2 — Theoria \nPaul Scherz (Catholic University of America): “Being Human as Being at Risk: The Shift from Genetic Determinism to Precision Medicine” \nWillemien Otten (University of Chicago): “The dynamics between nature and human nature on perpetration and victimhood” \nJeff Bishop (Saint Louis University): “On the Being of Humans and the Being of Technology” \nModerator: Hille Haker (Loyola University Chicago)

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course on Modern Science and Christian Faith
DESCRIPTION:6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture\nThis weekly non-credit course is open to current students and faculty. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. This program is made possible by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation and The Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nPeople of faith have been deeply involved in the pursuit of science throughout the history of the discipline\, from pioneering advances like the Big Bang and the building blocks of modern genetics\, to the everyday\, incremental toil of research. Yet\, it is a commonly held belief that there has long been an irreconcilable conflict between science and faith. From where does this proposed conflict emerge? How can faith complement one’s approach towards\, and interpretation of\, science? How can science complement one’s understanding of the Christian faith? How does one respond to ever new challenges raised by modern science and technology? Through this Autumn non-credit course\, visiting Scientists and Theologians will explore some of these questions from within their particular disciplines. \nSCHEDULE \nOct. 8: “Science & Faith: Clash or Harmony?\nStephen Barr (University of Delaware) \nOct 15: “Science & Faith: Understanding and Correcting Models of Conflict”\nChris Baglow (McGrath Institute\, University of Notre Dame) \nOct 22: “The Evolving Universe”\nDan Fabrycky (University of Chicago) \nOct 29: “How to Engage Mystery: Advice from a Scientist for Nones\, Nuns\, and All”\nFr. John Kartje  (University of Saint Mary of the Lake) \nNov 5: “Materialistic Reductionism and Science”\nStephen Barr (University of Delaware) \nNov 12: “Disease and the Problem of Evil”\nStephen Meredith (University of Chicago) \nNov 19: “Biological Evolution and Christian Faith”\nPeter Tierney (Lumen Christ Institute) \nNov 26: “Fate in Science and Religion”\nJames Donovan (North Central College)
