More Details:
Gifford Bequest International Conference sponsored by the Gifford Lectureship Committees of the Universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews. For over 100 years the Gifford Lectures have acted as an important stimulus to philosophy and natural theology. The four Gifford Lectureship Committees now wish to provide an international forum for advancing the enterprise of natural theology. Natural theology is understood broadly as the search for knowledge of God without appeal to revelation. Topics include, but are not limited to, the nature of God, arguments for the existence of God, and miracles. Also welcome are papers discussing the bearing on such topics of recent developments in philosophy, theology, and science. Featured Speakers and Their Topics RICHARD SWINBURNE (author of The Existence of God): Current Prospects for Natural Theology ELEONORE STUMP (Gifford Lecturer in 2002, University of Aberdeen): Metaphysics, Personal Identity, and the Incarnation PAUL DAVIES (author of God and the New Physics): Physical and Cosmological Evidence of Design MICHAEL BEHE (author of Darwin's Black Box): Biochemical Evidence of Design Go to http://www.abdn.ac.uk/philosophy/phildept.htm after 1 August for more information about the conference.
