Alan Lightman of MIT is hosting a series of TV episodes, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, entitled "SEARCHING: Our Quest for Meaning in the Age of Science." As the attached article in Science magazine portrays, he raises questions about meaning in the light of modern science. While he asserts a materialistic position, he primarily raises important questions with little in-depth discussion.
In this ASA blog, we encourage ASA members to comment and carry on a dialog about perspectives that Christians in the sciences may have.
The Series can be seen in its entirety at bb. Local PBS stations will be airing the series throughout January and February.
