In the Beginning, God…

On Tuesday, October 13th in Old Main 115 at 7:30 PM, there will be a presentation entitled “In the Beginning, God…A Limited Perspective Examining Science and Faith” by Dr. Tricia Shepherd, a chemistry professor of Westminster College. The presentation is being hosted by FOCUS (the Christian student group) and they’ve invited us to attend.

I (and several other SHAFTers) have attended FOCUS meetings throughout the semester. I think it’s important that we foster a friendship with them, as it furthers a healthy religious dialogue. So try to make it to this event if you can—it should be a really interesting talk.

About Jon Adams

I have my bachelors in sociology and political science, having recently graduated from Utah State University. I co-founded SHAFT, but have also been active in the College Democrats and the Religious Studies Club. I was born in Utah to a loving LDS family. I left Mormonism in high school after discovering some disconcerting facts about its history. Like many ex-Mormons, I am now an agnostic atheist. I am amenable to being wrong, however. So should you disagree with me about religion (or anything, really), please challenge me. I welcome and enjoy a respectful debate. I love life, and am thankful for those things and people that make life worth loving: my family, my friends, my dogs, German rock, etc. Contact: jon.earl.adams@gmail.com

  1. I wish I could have gone to this but I was tied up in the Statesman office redoing an article that was redone again. Not quite as strong as I wanted but I guess its what’s there.

    I wish I could have come and played Profanatica’s “Them that dwell in heaven”, a slow and industrialized reading of 13 of Revelation to give the woman an intro. Ya know, for fun.

    And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
