What is the Value of Peaceful Science?

I’ve not found a place (online or face-to-face) where I can:

  • Dig into the science of a different field (see The Sky Glows With The Lyman-Alpha Emission ) with an astrophysicist.
  • Discuss some of the scientific nitty-gritty of origin of life (abiogenesis) research (Brian Miller: Thermodynamics and the Origin of Life) with graduate students, post-docs, and faculty in physics and biology.
  • Discuss hermeneutical theories of Genesis with a Hebrew professor (Is Dual Authorship Coherent?)
  • Read about state of the art integrative research combining computational biology and Christian faith (Three Stories on Adam)
  • Talk with people representing Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Evolutionary Creationism, Theistic Evolution, Agnostics, Atheists, and various positions in-between and, for the most part, get along while discussing deeply held convictions about the very complicated “big questions” of life.
  • Feel free to have more questions than answers.

Basically all at the same place (and time, which can cause problems for sleep patterns).
