Dr. John Polkinghorne
"Order & Disorder"
" Futility or Fulfillment"

Former President of Queen's College, Cambridge University, England. He is a major figure in today's debates over the compatibility of science and religion. Internationally known as both a theoretical physicist and theologian.

Lecture I: Order and Disorder.
The Universe is rationally beautiful in its structure and its laws finely tuned to permit the development of carbon-based life. The processes of evolution are marked by the interplay of chance and necessity, with death the cost of new life. How can an honest theology resolve these antinomie?

Lecture II: Futility of Fulfillment.
The Universe will end either in collapse or decay. Is it possible for a credible eschatological hope to be framed in the face of apparent cosmic futility?
