What does scripture say:

Does God cause fire and flood?
How about hate and the holocaust?
If not, what’s God doing about evil?

Dr. John Holbert, Professor of Homiletics at Perkins School of Theology will share insights gathered in a lifetime of studying the Biblical texts which are the cornerstone of our theology of God and evil.

What does science say:

Why are there tornadoes?
Why is there disease?
Can human evil be cured?

Rev. Tom Downing, Minister of Education at First United Methodist Church of Dallas, who has a minor in Math and Physics from the University of California at Berkeley, will share his understanding of the latest insights of science on these important questions.
