INQ-110 | Faith and Reason

Full Title: Faith and Reason

Topic Description:

Is faith a leap in the dark, a commitment unsupported by any rational considerations? Can a person who is committed to rational inquiry also have faith? For some people, the theory of evolution poses a challenge to faith, but does it have to be that way? These are the kinds of questions that we will consider in this course. Along the way we will explore what it means to have faith, and examine both criticisms and defenses of religious belief. We will do some work examining arguments, including the fundamentals of logic on which they are based and their use in fields a diverse as religion, literature and science.
