So I get this app called Nextdoor. It's like a community bulletin board. Someone posted this:
Astrophysicist, "Does God Exist?"
Nathan D. from Edgewood · 1h ago
I know this is crazy early but I'm super excited about this!
I just heard from Astrophysicist Paul Wallace and he is coming to Edgewood on Sunday, August 27th to talk about "Does God Exist?" from a scientific perspective.
I looked up Paul Wallace (http://psnt.net/blog/about-the-author/) and found an article he wrote in HuffPo titled "How to talk to Creationists". From the article:
"It is good and necessary to learn as much about science and the cosmos as you can and to bring that into your dialogue. That is your responsibility. Engage them as deeply as your knowledge will allow. But winning an argument with a well-prepared and defensive creationist is not really possible. The point is not to be right but to kick the conversation down the road a little, and to learn about your parishioners along the way."
He seems interesting to me. I think I'd like to hear what he has to say. Here's some more articles he wrote for HuffPo. I think they're pretty interesting:
