Description: Natural theology is the branch of metaphysics that considers the being and nature of God as demonstrable by the natural light of reason. The advances of modern science have spawned numerous arguments both for and against theism on rational grounds. This course examines traditional and contemporary approaches to the existence and attributes of God, with a special focus on the intersection of science and belief. Various approaches to science and belief will be compared and evaluated, including models of conflict, harmony, and integration.
