The next Evolution Revolution…
Jacques Arnould's new book, 'God vs Darwin' was launched at the Cathedral this weekend.
Over fifty people attended a day of seminars exploring the science of evolution and its theological implications at Christ Church Cathedral this weekend. Organised as a shoulder event to the Charles Darwin Symposium run by the University, the Cathedral event brought together Martinez Hewlett and Nancy Howell from the U.S. and Jacques Arnould from France to lead us in a conversation that broadened our understanding and challenged our thinking.
Marty Hewlett, author of a number of books on the subject (”Can you believe in God and evolution?” among them) explored the science and theology of evolution. Nancy Howell broadened the conversation by introducing participants to the evolution of emotions and the implications that has for ideas about morality. Jacques Arnould took participants further again in his presentation on astro-biology and exo-theology.
Supported by SSM Australia and ATF Press the weekend was another in the series of seminars at the Cathedral aimed at providing a safe place for significant conversations.
