God and Science: A Seminar of Contemporary Viewpoints

Princeton University

September 20, 2025

Featuring keynotes from Eben Alexander, John Mather, Jennifer Wiseman, Steve Barr, William Phillips, Robert Kaita and more

Why does the universe exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the true nature of reality—and of our own consciousness?

These timeless questions have captivated human minds for millennia, explored through the lenses of religion, philosophy, and now, increasingly, science.

In recent decades, major scientific breakthroughs—in cosmology with the Big Bang theory, in quantum physics, and in neuroscience—have begun to shed new light on these mysteries. But do these discoveries bring us closer to understanding the ultimate nature of existence? And how do they align—or conflict—with traditional spiritual and philosophical worldviews?

On this extraordinary day at Princeton University, leading scientists and thinkers will come together to consider these questions and explore their profound implications. Through thought-provoking talks and discussions, they will examine the philosophical implications of cutting-edge research in fields such as the origin of the universe, the nature of matter, the emergence of life, and the enigma of consciousness.
