About the course

The course gives an introduction to historical and contemporary studies of the relationship between science and religion. We will survey different views that scientists, philosophers and theologians have developed to understand how science and religion are or at least should be related. You will learn to critically and constructively analyse ideas about God and the Big Bang, atheism and evolutionary theory and rival theories of human nature.
