Greeting Gallileo Again: A Christian Response to the Night Sky

Christianity, like science, is changing as new discoveries increase our knowledge of
the Bible. This presentation will look at how early people regarded the stars: their
interpretation of what they were viewing. It will explore the well known tension between
faith and science and move toward a new perspective on the stars.
