Religion vs. Science? Don't Believe It
<p>Popular culture, public discourse, and the media are pervaded by endlessly reiterated claims that science and religion are incompatible. But do they represent antagonistic worldviews, the one based on reason and evidence, the other on faith and the rejection of evidence? This self-serving misrepresentation depends on mistaken assumptions about what the natural sciences can and cannot explain, as well as on a cartoonish view of "religion" that makes no distinctions among different religious traditions or theological claims. This lecture will show how the assumption that science and religion are inherently conflictual is mistaken—and how properly understood, whatever is true about the natural world does not and cannot conflict with true religion.</p><p><strong>Dr. Brad Gregory</strong> | Professor of History and Dorothy G. Griffin Collegiate Chair, University of Notre Dame</p><p>This event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series: Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?</p><p>More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason</p>2/21/197:00 p.m.Mount Mercy University, Chapel of MercyCedar Rapids -

From Dayton to Dover: What have we learned about evolution and Christian faith?
<p>Almost 80 years after the famous 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial," the teaching of evolution was once again in the courtroom in Dover, Pennsylvania. What is it about the science of evolution that makes it so difficult for many Christians to come to terms with some of its consequences? This talk places this controversy within a U.S. context, but also shows that resources are available within the Christian tradition for a healthy dialogue between science and faith, even with some of the difficult problems raised by evolution.</p><p><strong>Dr. Matthew Ashley </strong>| Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Notre Dame</p><p>This event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series, Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?</p><p>More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason</p>3/28/197:00 p.m.Mount Mercy University, Chapel of MercyCedar Rapids -
The Ultimate Appeal to Humanity: Fides et Ratio and the Fulfillment of All Desire
<p>On the 20th anniversary of his encyclical <em>Fides et Ratio</em>, we turn to St. John Paul II's conviction that Jesus Christ is not only the answer to who God is, but also to who we are to become. For, in becoming human, God has rendered all human desire and inquiries as channels of encountering the divine. As such, faith and reason, divinity and humanity, now form a harmonic symphony in which the human person can finally find the fullness of what it means to be truly alive, fulfilled, and flourishing.</p><p><strong>Fr. David Vincent Meconi, S.J., D.Phil.

Art Exhibit: Loud + Proud
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Loud + Proud</em>, a solo exhibit of new works by Iowa artist Mary Zeran.</p><p>Mary Zeran was raised in a family of women artists whose textiles, embroidery, and woodcarvings, existed as their visual language; enigmatic shapes and forms were their words. Each time she picks up a brush or scissors she immerses herself in the language of her family, which brings her ever closer to their traditions, histories, and stories.</p><p>In <em>Loud + Proud</em>, she is accumulating colorful swatches of personalities and circumstances, and translating these abstract impressions into two-dimensional forms. From all of the places she’s lived, Mary recalls the personal interactions she’s had with folks from around the country and abroad. “Each and every one of us is a unique mix of experiences-someone special and rare,” she states. Loud and proud, becomes the mantra behind this collection of works: “We need to honor ourselves, let our freak flags fly, go for the gusto, not be stopped by what we are or are not, and encourage the same in others.” Frenetic patterned layers, surprising color combinations, plus a large installation of 100 pieces are presented in this exhibit as a testament to this idea.</p><p>Mary Zeran received her B.F.A and M.F.A from University of Iowa. She was born in Iowa City in 1964 and now lives and works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is the recipient of several awards and honors and her works are in numerous public and private collections as well as many notable corporate collections. Her collage works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad including the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art; Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art, in Kansas City; SOIL Gallery in Seattle; Higher Art Gallery in Michigan; and Chaing Mai University in Chaing Mai, Thailand.</p> 2018-12-29 16:00:00 -0600
