TED Talk and Discussion on the Bridge Between Science and Religion at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City

Sunday, July 30 at 10 AM, 3845 North Swan Street. "Reality Reconciles Science and Religion" In this TED Talk from June 2014, evolutionary theologian Michael Dowd bridges science and religion with a healthy dose of pragmatism based on "reality". Rev. Dowd suggests that what people used to call God is a personification of what science calls Reality. In other words, reality is God 2.0. Dowd and his wife, Connie Barlow, an acclaimed science writer and evolutionary educator, travel North America promoting the inspiring side of science, religious naturalism, and what they call "one-story spirituality". His 2009 book, Thank God for Evolution, was endorsed by six Nobel Prize-winning scientists, noted skeptics, and by religious leaders across the spectrum. Doug Abbott will moderate and will lead the discussion. There will be coffee and conversation after the service and visitors are always welcome.
