HS102 Contemporary Sciences and Christian Belief (2 Credits)

Lecturer: Alex MOK

Description:

Although a theology of nature is necessarily founded on historical revelation and religious experience, it should be consistent with the scientific evidence. Modern sciences shows that nature is a long dynamic evolutionary process governed by law and chance. This evolutionary worldview should be integrated with our religious beliefs concerning nature and its relation with God and humanity. In this course, we will examine the theological doctrines such as creation, providence and human nature in the light of contemporary sciences.
