Science and Religion Together Again

This month, The Big Bang Book club is meeting in conjunction with the Science & Religion Roundtable. Their motto is "You don’t have to be a person of faith to participate in the Roundtable, just have an interest in the relationship between religion and science." We'll meet at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Avenue (at Lyndale), in Minneapolis, at 7:00pm on Thursday, January 28.

We'll be discussing Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief by Andrew Newberg. The book explores the complex relationship between spirituality and the brain.This fascinating, eye-opening book examines both the miracle and the biology of our enduring relationship with God.
