Keith Ward, Fellow of the British
Academy, member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, Regius
Professor of Divinity Emeritus at the University of Oxford, an ordained priest
of the Church of England, and author of The Big Questions in Science and
Religion and Divine Action: Examining God?s Role in an Open and Emergent
Universe.
Reaching the Omega Point- the Trajectory of an Open
Universe?
Professor Ward will argue that quantum physics, molecular biology,
and computer science all offer opportunities for a dynamic and positive
re-statement of Christian faith. The universe is now widely seen by scientists
as 'open', 'emergent', 'intelligible' and, by some scientists, even 'fine-tuned'
for the emergence of consciousness?a vision which Dr. Ward suggests is not only
compatible with, but even enriches, the Christian understanding of God as
?incarnational? Creator.
An excellent opportunity for our entire academic community, including graduate
and undergraduate students, to reflect on and discuss the proper relationship
between scientific knowledge and theological meaning.
