Home Are faith and science contrary, complementary, or independent of each other? Some have the view that science opposes faith, and that faith is a hindrance to science. Others simply say that each is completely independent and while they can both be in your life, they never overlap in application. In this class, Branyon demonstrates faith and science are complementary by looking at the basic meaning of both concepts and by looking at how science and faith have been applied through history.

Home No one denies that our lives contain struggles of sorrow and pain. Why does evil, pain, and suffering exist in our world? Why is it present in our lives? As one of the most significant arguments against God’s existence, in both its personal impact and widespread consideration, this class focuses on the moral foundations of these undeniable issues to see that it shines a light on God’s existence not absence.

Home Much of our lives are structured by considering the contrast between correct and incorrect, true and untrue, and what is right or wrong. These comparisons are needed, but why are we able to make such evaluations? We also make moral evaluations on a regular basis. How are we personally, or even as a society, able to make moral evaluations? Join Branyon May in considering these questions as they relate to the moral argument for God’s existence.

Home The design argument does not just say, “God did it, now let’s stop learning.” Instead the presence of design demonstrates that we should expect logical processes and repeatable outcomes with their end results being purposeful. In this class, Branyon May looks at various categories and examples of design to help identify how extensively the natural world is designed.

Home Not only are we surrounded by a Cosmos full of material, but we exist as part of multiple, grand, functioning systems. These systems form the basis for how the stars and planets move, why Earth is able to support life, and the behavior of every single fundamental particle. Seeing physical matter follow regular processes demands the question, “what is the origin of these processes and natural laws?” Join Branyon May in evaluating whether design exists and what it implies about the Designer.
