On the journey of truth, faith, and reason
2022 Summer Series
In 2022, The Los Alamos Faith and Science Forum invited you to a summer of celebration of being together again and continued examination of issues at the interface of faith and science:
–extending the discussion on human origins and evolution,
–expanding the boundaries of faith and embedded truth,
–exploring the nature of God’s interaction with humankind.
This, our ninth season of Wednesday events ran from June 1 to August 3. Our season started with our invited external speaker – Prof. Martinez Hewlett, professor emeritus of cellular biology from U. Arizona. He now lives in Taos and teaches at UNM. He reviewed and compared models for human evolution. Later talks in Summer 2022 on evolution considered experiments on the origin of life, presented by Patrick Berg, MD, and the importance of bacteria and viruses in the evolutionary process by Glenn Magelssen, PhD. In addition, we expanded the boundaries of faith with presentations related to religion and science, including two talks related to Eastern Orthodox Christianity by Dr. Victoria Erhart (UNM-LA) and Father Jesse Robinson (Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Santa Fe). There also was a talk on the science of Buddhism by John Ambrosiano, PhD, and a discussion on the image of God by Eric Ferm, PhD. The deep issues of truth in faith and God’s role in the discovery process were addressed in talks by Gary Stradling, PhD., Nelson Hoffman, PhD and Chick Keller, PhD.
Join the Forum Virtually
We invite those who cannot be physically present in Los Alamos to watch and engage in our meetings virtually via Zoom. Presentations start every Wednesday at 6:30 pm starting on June 1, and running through August 3. Our group has expanded outside of Los Alamos since our presentations went virtual after the emergence of COVID. Each presentation is followed by a question and answer session with the speaker. In addition to questions from the live audience, we also facilitate questions that come from our remote audience.
