Miracles in the Age of Science

Join us for a discussion on miracles (in person or virtually). Historical claims of miraculous events have fueled philosophical and theological debates for centuries. But what about modern day claims? The great advantage of living in the 21st century is the benefit that science provides for skeptically interrogating present-day assertions. Our discussion will include a presentation that provides results from investigations performed by forensic pathologists.
