The Science Network in Association with the Crick-Jacobs Center, The Salk Institute Hold a Forum on Beyond Belief. (November 29, 2006)
    The Science Network in association with the Crick-Jacobs Center brought together a group of scientists and philosophers to explore if God has a place in the universe and if so, what? The conversations took place at the Salk Institute, La Jolla, California from November 5-7, 2006.

 

According to The New York Times' George Johnson, the forum came "to resemble the founding convention for a political party built on a single plank: in a world dangerously charged with ideology, science needs to take on an evangelical role, vying with religion as teller of the greatest story ever told."
