SUMMARY:Touching the Face of the Cosmos Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet” —Stephen Hawking (1942–2018) \nJoin us for this one-day series of panels\, presentations\, and papers that explore a missing ingredient in the attempt of humanity to lift itself off this planet and explore the universe. This ingredient both precedes and exceeds science\, and is not about making money or attaining military superiority. It is called sense of wonder\, spirituality\, or religion—the urge of every human being to know what we are doing in this universe. \nThe anthology Touching the Face of the Cosmos: On the Intersection of Space Travel and Religion\, edited by Paul Levinson and Michael Waltemathe (ebook Connected Editions\, paperback and hardcover Fordham University Press\, 2015)\, assembled a group of essays and short stories exploring this issue by leading thinkers and writers\, including one of the last interviews with John Glenn. Our conference continues this exploration. \nSchedule \n2 – 3:45 p.m. | Panels: The Intersection of Space Travel and Religion\nThe Missing Spirit\nPaul Levinson\nFordham University \nOpening the Gates of Heaven: Religious and Philosophical Implications of Space Travel\nMichael Waltemathe\nRuhr-Universität Bochum\, Germany\n \nIn Search of the Meaning of the Meaning of Life: Space Travel as Communication\nAleksandar Bogdanic\nUniversity of Banja Luka\, Bosnia \nCivilization\, Culture\, and the New Frontier\nJames Heiser\nBishop\, Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America\n\n4 – 5:15 p.m. | Science Fiction Looks at Space Travel and Religion\nPaul Levinson\, Alex Shvartsman\, and David Walton\nAuthors\nScience fiction is the only kind of fiction that delves into the quintessentially human characteristic of actively shaping and attempting to improve our future in this universe. Three science fiction authors will look at what science fiction shows us about the role of religion in moving humans off this planet into the cosmos. \n5:30 p.m. | Plenary Session: What Little Children See in Space\nMolly Vozick-Levinson and Brittany Miller\nThe Children’s Learning Center\, New York City  \n7 p.m. | Keynote Address: Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?\nGuy Consolmagno\, S.J. (AKA The Pope’s Astronomer)\nDirector of the Vatican Observatory \n7:45 p.m. | Book Signing \nThis event is sponsored by the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. \nFREE ADMISSION
