Is belief without sight rational? God may be beyond human comprehension, but then again, so is most science - at least to us mere mortals (with Liberal Arts degrees). Scientists have never seen quarks, black holes, or dark matter, but all three form the foundation of the modern scientific understanding of the world. This talk will discuss ways that all people – believers and skeptics alike – can use the tools of science to expand their understanding of what it means to “believe.”
