In their own words...
"Living on campus is a life experience I have learned so much from. We eat together, watch TV together, study together, and do absolutely nothing together. When I go home for breaks, it’s like I’m leaving my second family!"
- Jess Cutler, Class of '10, from FL

The Honorable Dr. James G. Martin
"Science and Religion: The New Revelation"

From a rough start with Galileo and Darwin, some religions have balked at science, the solar system, the age of the earth and evolution of species. Some atheists have taken advantage of this. Modern science is finidn reconciliation with religion, enhanced by growing evidence that we did not get here by random processes. Astronomy, physics, geology and biology are providing profound concepts that allow greater compatibility with theistic belief. To that we will add some 'secrets' from organic chemistry.

The Hon. Dr. James G. Martin was the 66th governor of North Carolina. He had previously served six terms as a member of the U.S. Congress for the 9th District of North Carolina. He recently retired from McGuire Woods Consulting. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University.

The Rev. Dr. Ron Crossley
"Christ, Creation and Contemporary Cosmology, Part II"

Down through the ages, prescientific and scientific worldviews (cosmologies) have had important effects on the theologies of their times. Continuing thoughts from a presentation in February 2011, Crossley will give an overview of three prior examples of cosmology on theology. Then, in light of theological lessons learned by those examples, the presentation will outline emerging theologies that attempt to respond to such scientific advances since Einstein as the Big Bang theory, quantum theory and the recent theories of dark matter and dark energy.

The Rev. Dr. Ron Crossley first came to St. Andrews in 1968 as Assistant Professor of Religion and served for 16 years as a faculty member and administrator. He currently serves as a gues lecturer in the St. Andrews General Honors program and as a teacher in the St. Andrews Institute of Lifelong Learning.
