Beyond Belief colloque
Pour ceux qui ont un peu de temps, je viens de découvrir cet excellent colloque, ça permet au moins de comprendre le point de vu de certains scientifiques comme un Weinberg, Dawkins, Davies ...etc sur la question de Dieu. ça parle même un peu de l'Islam et sa période florissante regrétée.
"Beyond Belief" Est un colloque annuel qui rassemble un groupe d'éminents scientifiques et de philosophes pour explorer les questions et réponses au sujet de la religion, la nature humaine et la société. L'événement est organisé par le réseau scientifique en association avec le Crick-Jacobs Center.
Beyond Belief: Science, Reason, Religion & Survival
Salk Institute for Biological Studies
10 parts ~ 114 min each
November 5 - 7, 2006
Just 40 years after a famous TIME magazine cover asked "Is God Dead?" the answer appears to be a resounding "No!" According to a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life in a recent issue of Foreign Policy magazine, "God is Winning". Religions are increasingly a geopolitical force to be reckoned with. Fundamentalist movements - some violent in the extreme - are growing. Science and religion are at odds in the classrooms and courtrooms. And a return to religious values is widely touted as an antidote to the alleged decline in public morality. After two centuries, could this be twilight for the Enlightenment project and the beginning of a new age of unreason? Will faith and dogma trump rational inquiry, or will it be possible to reconcile religious and scientific worldviews? Can evolutionary biology, anthropology and neuroscience help us to better understand how we construct beliefs, and experience empathy, fear and awe? Can science help us create a new rational narrative as poetic and powerful as those that have traditionally sustained societies? Can we treat religion as a natural phenomenon? Can we be good without God? And if not God, then what?
This is a critical moment in the human situation, and The Science Network in association with the Crick-Jacobs Center brought together an extraordinary group of scientists and philosophers to explore answers to these questions. The conversation took place at the Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA from November 5-7, 2006.
