Astronomy, God, and the Search for EleganceScientific theories must do more than merely satisfy the data; they must do so in a way that is (to use a term much favored by mathematicians) elegant. Kepler, Maxwell, and Einstein are examples of scientists who found that a sense of esthetic rightness helped them to direct their scientific intuition toward theories that could then be expressed rationally, mathematically; theories that could then lead to deeper insights about nature. By looking closely at a handful of astronomical images, well explore the way that one proceeds from an emotional appreciation of the beauty of the stars and planets, to an understanding that satisfies both reason and emotion. Ultimately, this link between elegance and rational truth has profound theological implications.About The Presidents Performing Arts and Lecture SeriesThe Presidents Performing Arts and Lecture Series offers a wide-ranging selection of events annually.
