Together with PhysPhil (the Physics and Philosophy Society at St Andrews University), we are organising another day conference, to be held in the School of Divinity, on laws of nature, the philosophy of science, and the question of divine action. There is an excellent line-up of speakers, and the event is free to attend. See below.
You are warmly invited to the forthcoming conference, ‘The Uniformity of Nature: Natural Laws, Natural Powers or Divine Action’
This one-day conference will bring together philosophers, philosopher-scientists and theologians to explore a variety of topics, including the laws of nature, divine agency, and the existence of powers and capacities in the natural world, with a view to (re)conceptualising the fundamental origins of order in our universe.
A number of speakers will be offering neo-Aristotelian perspectives on these topics, among other perspectives, applying ancient and contemporary philosophy to modern conceptual problems in the physical sciences and theology.
We are anticipating a stimulating interdisciplinary conference with plenty of time for discussion.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi, I am from Australia.
Please find an introduction to a myth-busting book on religion, science & scientism and human culture altogether via this essay on Jesus & Quantum Reality by a Radiant Philosopher who is completely unacceptable to both the advocates of secular realism, and conventional exoteric religious idealism
