2010 CALL
FOR PAPERS
Intelligent Design &
Artificial Intelligence:
THE GHOST IN
THE MACHINE?
We invite papers
addressing a fascinating area of interdisciplinary research:
science-theology dialogue. From emergence to cosmology, from mathematics
to computers, from information to intelligence, there are many unanswered
questions. While physicists search for the "God particle" and a unified theory
of everything, others are fascinated by a designer universe permeated with
fractals. Yet, on the cusp of a grand theory explaining everything, new
scientific findings suggest that most of the universe is still unknown, given
dark matter and black holes, the Big Bang, and the riddle of life's origins.
Some scientists, philosophers, and theologians seek to bridge the cognitive gap
between natural science and religion, evolution and creation, by the notion of
"emergence"--an energy, force, or blueprint inherent in nature. What is meant by
"emergence," and what is its relationship to evolution and creation? Can
emergence be understood as "cosmic genesis," the work of a Creator-God Who is
also a Master Programmer? What is the nature of fractals? Why does design go "all the way
down," hence pointing to an Intelligent Designer? And what is the
relationship between intelligent design and artificial intelligence? Authors are encouraged to
connect with
relevant ideas in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies.
