Does God Exist? A Debate

Dr. Matt McCormick
Dr. Russell DiSilvestro

The question of whether God exists is one of the most profound matters facing humans.  Philosophers offer structured arguments for thinking God is real (theism) or not (atheism) that draw upon anthropology, biology, cosmology, morality, physics, and theology.  Come see Dr. Russell DiSilvestro and Dr. Matt McCormick debate the question of whether God is real.  They will give us some sense of the progress we have made toward an answer. Don’t miss it! 
This event is free and open to the public.
