Course Description
Based on Ross Douthat’s "Believe," this course explores reasons why people might move from doubt toward belief. Topics include the cosmos and reason, humanity’s unique place in creation, and the persistence of supernatural experiences across cultures. No prior philosophical background is required—just a willingness to engage in open and respectful dialogue.
