Unit 2
Why Believe in God?
Contemporary science provides many kinds of evidence not just for the human soul, but for the existence of God. In this unit, students explore how all coherent, evidence-based theories of our universe require a definite beginning in the past. This requirement means, as St. Thomas Aquinas demonstrated, that there must be something that transcends physical reality which caused physical reality to move from nothing to something. We call that something a Creator, or God. This unit examines evidence for the existence of God from science as well as philsophy, and explores questions raised by God’s existence.
