Nobel Prize winner speaks in Bauman tomorrow night

Don’t forget to join us for the university’s fifth annual Dalton Lecture tomorrow (Thursday) as Dr. William Phillips, a 1997 Nobel Prize winner in physics, presents at 7:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. The free presentation is entitled “Ordinary Faith, Ordinary Science,” in which he speak on the common ground shared between faith and science. A George Fox student research poster session and dessert reception will follow Phillips’ lecture.

Among the questions Phillips will address are queries that can be particularly troublesome for a Christian: “Why is there suffering if God is good?” “What about all the terrible things done in the name of religion?” and “What about all the good people who are on a different path of faith than Christianity?”

Phillips will also speak Thursday afternoon, Feb. 12, at 3:30 p.m. on the topic “Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe” in Bauman Auditorium.

The Dalton Lecture Series is sponsored by the Department of Biology and Chemistry. More information can be found on the Dalton Lecture page.
