Introduction
This is a space for investigating questions at the intersection of empiricism and spirituality
What is this website?
As science answers more and more questions about how the world works, it raises new questions about the basis of our spiritual and ethical beliefs. Does science make faith obsolete? Is free will an illusion? Where could–and should–technology take us? How do we obtain reliable knowledge? In what should we put our faith?
This website is a space for you and your community to explore these and other pressing questions. Each page features a video of one of the world’s leading thinkers on the interplay of science and faith, a transcript of the presentation, and suggested questions to think through and discuss. We encourage you to interact cordially with others in the comment section on each page. Small groups may be interested in downloading and printing the resources on each page, and in watching the videos together.
Thank you for joining us in creating an open and friendly space for exploring some of life’s hardest questions. We’re thrilled you’re here! Pause over the images above to begin exploring!
