God and Cosmology

<p>The question of God and cosmology is far from abstract. In fact the subject raises the deepest questions of human existence: Why is there something rather than nothing? Or to put it more personally Why am I here?</p><p>Structured as a debate the 2014 Greer-Heard Forum focused on the issue of God and cosmology and its impact on life and self-understanding. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and atheist cosmologist Sean Carroll presented their views before a packed crowd of more than nine hundred people. Spirited civil and often humorous the debate highlighted not only their positions but the full range of possibilities.</p><p>In this volume the content of that debate is reprinted and supplemented by a range of reflections by other conference presenters. </p><p>The purpose of the Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum is to provide a venue for fair-minded dialogue on subjects of importance in religion and culture. The goal is a respectful exchange of ideas without compromise.</p>
