This conference from the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science will weave together diverse interdisciplinary threads from the natural and social sciences and the humanities to consider the place and purpose of humanity in a context in which Earth might not be our only home and in which we may not be alone. The plenary speakers (leading scientists, religionists and ethicists) will draw on cutting-edge thinking in astrobiology, including emerging thought on “habitability,” and astro philosophy and theology to consider many questions.

Center for Process Studies Program Director, Dr. Andrew M. Davis, will be presenting on his recent book, Metaphysics of Exo-Life: Toward a Constructive Whiteheadian Cosmotheology!
