Heaven & Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n Mormonism and the Challenges of Science, Revelation and Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n February 22nd – 23rd, 2018 Program PDF here<\/a>; conference website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The relationship between science and religion has been among the most fiercely debated issues since the Copernican revolution displaced traditional wisdom regarding the nature of the cosmos. Some have argued\u00a0 for a sharp division of labor while others have sought to harmonize spiritual and empirical truths. From its beginnings, Mormonism has wrestled with the implications of modern science and has produced a variety of\u00a0 theological responses. This conference will explore the landscape of Mormon thought as it relates to the relationships between science, theology, scriptural narratives, and LDS authoritative discourse. It will also examine abiding questions of faith, reason, and doubt and the reactions against the intellectualizing forces that bear on the truth claims of Mormonism.<\/p>\n Keynote speaker Molly Worthen<\/strong>,\u00a0Assistant Professor of History at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, author of\u00a0Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism\u00a0<\/em>and contributing writer for the New York Times, will speak on \u201cFaith Seeking Understanding:<\/em> The Evangelical Experience, and Mormon Connections<\/strong>.\u201d Friday, 2\/23 at 10:00 AM.<\/p>\n The Eugene England Memorial Lecture will be delivered by\u00a0Steven L.
