Cosmology and Creation: How do they relate to one another? - Professor Alister McGrath
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
How have Christian writers rationalised the idea of divine creation with critical thinking? Professor McGrath explains: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cosmology-and-creation-how-do-they-relate-to-one-another This lecture considers some themes within the Christian tradition dealing with the concept of “creation”, noting especially Aristotle’s notion of the eternity of the world, and the tensions this caused for Christian writers such as Thomas Aquinas. We then turn our attention to cosmology, noting the major scientific developments over the last century. The final section of the lecture will consider how a scientific “narrative of origination” relates to a religious “narrative of creation”, and how these narratives intertwine and interconnect. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cosmology-and-creation-how-do-they-relate-to-one-another Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

censoring comments again? the first refuge of cowards. shame on you.

That some kind of God exists is perfectly proven in the utter vastness of what is around us, and the incomprehensible chances that all this happened to get YOU, just YOU, here, reading this. Of course a God is real, and is the ultimate source for the creation of everything, the universe, the multiverse, whatever.
Problem is, none of those gods anyone posits, none of those gods from religion, are this God. Oops ;-D -
They don't get on at all well
