Trailer.
There is no contradiction between
faith and reason. This
encouraging truth is the bedrock
for In the Beginning: Evidence
For God From Physics. Ideal
for the inquiring mind, this
two-disc DVD set features four
presentations by Fr. Robert J.
Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.
A former president of Gonzaga
University from 1998-2009, Fr.
Spitzer has authored several
books including New Proofs for
the Existence of God:
Contributions of Contemporary
Physics and Philosophy. The
In the Beginning course
explores the content of this book
including what, if any, the
limits of scientific evidence are
and whether such evidence
provides support for a beginning
and design of the universe.
The Big Bang Theory is also
addressed as is the oscillating
universe theory and the
multiverse theory. Additionally,
Fr. Spitzer speaks to the
following questions: is the Bible
doing science and can human
beings be explained by an
evolutionary (biophysical)
process alone? The final week of
the course explores evidence for
survival of human consciousness
after death as well as the
possibility for extraterrestrial
life.
In the Beginning is an excellent resource for use by groups whether in a classroom, parish or faith study setting.
