Religion, science meet in forum
■ Beginning today, speakers
will discuss ideas of the two
cultural powers and how
they can be integrated
By Eric Pfeiffer
Oregon Daily Emerald
Throughout history, the fields of
religion and science have com
monly been viewed as opponents.
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
