Humanities & Science (HAS) 2011: open weeks
Here is the list of the school’s weeks that are open to external auditors:
August 1-3: Evolution and/or Creation?
Science or faith? Do we have to choose one or the other? Darwin’s theory? Evolution? Creationism? What can I believe? Human beings have always tried to establish a relationship between the material and the spiritual. If we say… with Pilate! “what is truth?” What are the foundations of a scientific truth and a spiritual truth? Upon what grounds do we establish, or not, a link between these truths? The answer to this question is linked with the history of the sciences, technology, the development of peoples (or ethnic groups) of ecology, of medicine, etc. What are the foundations for a yes or for a no for alternative medicine?
Speaker: Pierre Amey
August 8-9: Ontology. Where do we come from? Evolution or creation?
Where do I come from? Is the creation account an opponent of science? What kind of answers do we find for the beginning of the Universe?
Speaker: Richard Stern
