Experts in both fields will attempt to alter that perception, however, through a University sponsored symposium. “Human Nature: A Symposium of Religion and Science,” will take place today and Saturday in the EMU. Mike Spezio, co-organizer of the event, said finding common ground between theological and analytical perspectives will be a continual theme during the week end discussions. “We are trying to get past the bat tles over science and religion,” he said. “Each speaker will help look at how these cultural forces have something important to say to each other.” The symposium begins today at 7:30 p.m. with a keynote address in the EMU’s Fir Room from Uni versity of Virginia Scholar-in-Resi dence Langdon Gilkey titled “Reli gion & Science on Origins: Class room & Culture.” Daniel Falk, a University associ ate professor of religious studies, leads the first lecture Saturday morning at 8:45, titled “The Dead Sea Scrolls and Narratives of Ori gins: Lessons for Dialogue Be tween Religion & Science.” During his talk, Falk said he will put biblical material into a literary context, explaining how the greater meaning of mythological texts is often lost in the debate over factual elements. Throughout this morning, there will be lectures covering the Na tive American perspective, social Darwinism and different perspec tives on human mythology. Mark Johnson, chair of the Uni versity philosophy department, will serve as the afternoon keynote speaker, with his talk titled “Reli gion, Science & Embodiment” be ginning at 1:30 p.m. He will cover how humans understand mythol ogy and where those religious con cepts come from. Symposium co-organizer Eliza beth Moore emphasized that peo ple from all backgrounds can an swer questions and find meaning in the relationship between sci ence and religion. “One of the goals is to have a Symposium of Religion and Science Friday in Fir Room, EMU 7:30 p.m.: Keynote Address I Saturday in Walnut Room, EMU 8-8:45 a.m. Registration 8:45*9:30 a.m. “The Dead Sea Scrolls and Narratives of Origins: Lessons for Dialogue Between Reli gion and Science” 9:45-10:30 a.m. “Religious Tradi tion and the Ancient One/Ken newick Man Controversy” 10:45-11:30 a.m. “Some Meanings of Evolution" 11:30-12 p.m. Panel Discussion 1:30-2:30 p.m. Keynote Address II 2:45-3:30 p.m. “Religion and the Neuroscience of Language” 3:45-4:30 p.m. "Religionand Em bodied Artificial Intelligence” 4:30-5 p.m. Panel Discussion Source: Human Natures Web Site place where people from all differ ent backgrounds can talk about the subjects of science and religion and hopefully find common ground,” she said.
