Having grown up in Rice Lake, our member Dr. James Bradley, retired biology professor of Auburn University, Alabama, returns to his home turf as often as possible to enjoy fishing on Red Cedar Lake, and being part of his home town for a spell.
Sunday, July 28th, Jim will share a view of science with the Blue Hills Unitarian Universalists that considers “Science as a 21st Century Myth,” exploring how the findings of modern science can contribute to a 21st Century myth to live by that enriches our spiritual lives. One asks “How can that be? Aren’t science and myth polar opposite ways of knowing?” Dr. Bradley shares that he has come to see they have more in common than first meets the mind.
All are welcome Sunday, July 27th as Dr. Bradley explores the concept that “a cosmogonic myth is a story with two major components: a cosmos and an ethos. A myth’s cosmos tells about ultimate origins – of the world, of humans, of Everything. A myth’s ethos tells us how to live a good life. Science provides us with a wonderful 21st Century cosmogonic story that can feed the spiritual dimension of our lives.”
