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
