If you happen to miss some of the talks during our Faith and Science Week, Feb 1-4th, you can still catch them by downloading the audio file. The quality is not fantastic, but my computer did the job in recording the voices. For more information on each speaker, look to previous posts:

F&S Tuesday Feb 2nd
Dirk Buchner
Genesis from a historical perspective
God revealed His story of how he interacts with us humans, to a culture that He regarded as worthy of receiving it and capable of fully understanding it.
We who are alive today, need to be humble and recognize that those ancient Middle-Eastern people were able to see things in ways that we westerners are unable to because we are blind.
To illustrate this I want to draw attention to the pictorial art of ancient people and what they understood by the building blocks of the cosmos, and how their symbolic universe presupposed a depth of understanding that goes far beyond the purely descriptive.
I want to give the audience some resources in order to understand how the ancient mind and imagination worked, so that the Genesis narratives and the poetry of the Psalms, which we may call neither myth nor history, can function as they were intended to, also in our intellectual sphere
This seminar is on Feb 2nd. in Block Hall at 7:00pm.
