The free presentation is entitled “Ordinary Faith, Ordinary Science,” in which he will 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 this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. on the topic “Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe” in Wood-Mar Auditorium (please note location update from Wednesday’s announcement).

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

About Dr. Phillips
In 1997, Phillips was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light, along with Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. One result of the development of laser-cooling techniques was the first observation, in 1995, of the Bose-Einstein condensate, a new state of matter originally predicted 70 years earlier by Albert Einstein and the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose.

It is that time of year for all students to file their 2015-16 FAFSA, but for undergraduate students from Oregon, it is especially important that you file before the end of January. Each year funding for the Oregon Opportunity Grant runs short for students who would otherwise qualify. The Oregon office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) oversees this program and must limit funding to early eligible FAFSA filers.

When you submit in January, it is not necessary to have your federal taxes filed. Simply estimate your 2014 income for you and (if dependent) your parents. Those that file in February will most likely not be considered for the grant which, for a full-time student, is $2,000.

Please don’t miss the potential help for your college costs! Click here to go to the FAFSA page.
