Emergence: Theol & Evol Sci
Emergence: Meeting Ground for Theology and Evolutionary Science
Emergence is the phenomenon of novel entities arising from elements whose characteristics provide no basis for anticipating the emergent entity. Examples include life emerging from inorganic elements and self-aware mindfulness from conglomerations of brain cells. In this course we will look at how the scientific exploration of emergence impacted philosophy and theology, including concepts of “God” as an actual evolving outcome of evolution.
