Connections Block: REL 258-B201 Religion and Nature and PHY 104-B201 Introduction to Astronomy This block examines the connection human beings have to “nature,” from local surroundings to the entire universe. Quite often this connection to, and understanding of, nature is viewed through the lens of various world religions. It is also the case that religion is sometimes shaped by scientific understanding. Religion and Nature takes the position that the current relationship championed by human beings and world religions has lead to irreparable harm. Introduction to Astronomy examines the relationship between science and religion and discusses the possibility that this relationship is not unidirectional.
