One of the most puzzling mysteries in science is the fact that the fabric of our universe is expanding at an ever-increasing speed. To understand the relationship between this unexpected behavior and the contents of the cosmos, scientists are pushing current theories to their breaking point in hopes of inspiring a new understanding of how the universe works.<\/p>\n<p>This blueprint for gaining understanding by seeking out contradictions goes beyond the scientific world: it is applicable in religious life as well. In this talk, Dr. Jenna Freudenburg will discuss how pursuing paradox can lead to both knowledge of the natural world and knowledge of God.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Freudenburg is a postdoctoral fellow in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. In addition to an PhD in astronomy, she holds a Master&#8217;s degree in Science and Religion from the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are invited to join us on Wednesday, February 1st at 7 pm, in our parish hall, for a lecture on the Pursuit of Paradox: How we learn about God and the Cosmos, presented by Dr. Jenna Freudenburg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7488,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_bluesky_share_type":"","_mastodon_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
