What Does Origins Mean?

Origins questions ask where life, the universe, humans, morality, consciousness and belief systems come from. These questions are important, but they must be separated carefully because not all origin claims are the same kind of claim.

What Are Gods?

The word gods can refer to creator beings, personal deities, spirits, symbols, cosmic principles, tribal protectors, moral authorities or imagined beings. Before judging claims about gods, it is necessary to ask what kind of claim is being made.

Q&A

Science does not simply prove there are no gods in every possible sense. It can, however, test many specific claims made about gods, miracles, origins, healing, revelation and the physical world.

Is evolution a threat to religion?

Evolution is a threat to some literal religious claims about creation, but not necessarily to every form of religious belief. It depends on what the religion claims.
