An exciting 4-week course in Philosophy, Science and Religion goes live on Monday 23rd January. Produced in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh's School of Divinity, the all new course covers the following topics:

  • An Introduction to the Course
  • Do Scientific Claims Constitute Absolute Truths?
  • Are Science and Religion in Conflict?
  • Creationism and Evolutionary Biology—Science or Pseudo-Science?

The course features guest speakers discussing these questions in a series of informative and engaging video lectures. In conjunction with the videos, learners are invited to complete quizzes, participate in discussion forums, and produce short peer-assessed essays.

Two further courses in Philosophy, Science and Religion will become available later in 2017.
