Part 2: What Happens Next - Implications for Theology

In this lecture I speculate on how science may evolve in the future to close more gaps in our understanding of the world, and the theological implications of a future where science can give a more complete account of nature, life, and personhood.

It is not necessary to view lecture one before this one.

A simplistic science does not capture all phenomena equally well
Much of the world is dynamical, and has emergent properties
Where science is probably heading: emergence and dynamical systems theories
