- Description
-
This grant supported interdisciplinary research on the implications of the evolutionary phenomenon of "cooperation," and the relationship between these evolutionary processes and classic theism. The project developed a set of logical alternatives for understanding the theological implications of the evolutionary process that extends beyond the disjunctive choice between secular Darwinism and religious fundamentalism. The project also included a lecture series, as well as research.
