More Process - Evolution
"If someone’s
   notion of God
does not allow for
    evolutionary
  history as it has
 actually unfolded,
that person’s notion
      of God is
      mistaken."
   -Philip Clayton
How can I have a
faith that honors both
science and the Bible?
Know the Bible.
 Know science.
  Think hard.
"You cannot shelter theology from
 science, or science from theology; nor
  can you shelter either of them from
metaphysics, or metaphysics from either
of them. There is no short cut to truth."
             -A.N. Whitehead

 life is the product of “intelligent
 design” or that a God exists.

"2 Erronious Assumptions made by
      Interpreters of Science"


There are no meaningful human
questions that science cannot answer.

When non‐scientific questions do arise,
no particular expertise or study other
than a good science education is needed
to pronounce upon them.
"The central question is: when and how
  does a scientific topic undergo that
subtle metamorphosis into philosophical
reflection? Evidently, this transition is
 the Achilles’ heel for many scientists,
   even great ones, judging by their
popular books and off‐hand comments
    at conferences. Non‐scientists, by
contrast, are well able to discern when
  an eminent scientist has wandered
 onto speculative terrain and begun to
 make pronouncements outside his or
   her actual area of expertise." -PC
Why such debate?

   Part 5: Spirit or Spirituality
  Claremont, CA - January 2012

Next week:
  Trinity
Process theology sees the
         universe as creative,
   interrelational, dynamic, and
  open to the future. In process
    theology, God is relational,
 present in every moment of our
    lives and in all entities and
   levels of being. The world is
interconnected, in effect a giant
 ecosystem where what harms or
blesses one, harms or blesses all.
