In studying this course, students will experience life enhancing learning in that the topics covered can have a real impact on moral thinking and the dilemmas we face as people. The course explores philosophy, religion and some ethics within a modern context. It looks at questions such as: • Does the order and purpose of the world imply a designer? • Is religion a human construct? • Can we talk meaningfully about religion? • Does God exist? • What is atheism? • Is spirituality a type of religious expression? • Do near-death experiences prove that there is life after death? • What are miracles, do they still happen? • Does the existence of evil and suffering in the world mean that there is no God?
