PhD Thesis Defense in the Science-Theology Interaction--Committee Decision
This thesis defense took place on March 27, 2017. This video includes the PhD thesis decision committee and final statements. The thesis title is "An Exploration of the Christian Conception of God and Creation in Understanding the Origin of Consciousness.” It was supervised by philosopher and theologian Maxime Allard; external examiners included Catholic philosopher William Sweet and Catholic theologian Paul Allen; other examiners included Catholic theologian Louis Roy and secular philosopher Iva Apostolova. The thesis uses physicist and theologian Robert John Russell’s "Creative Mutual Interaction" to understand how and why consciousness originated. It argues that the Christian conception of God and creation provides a plausible account for the origin of self-consciousness. It integrates philosophy, theology, and science in an innovative way. The thesis was eventually published by Wipf and Stock and was titled On the Origin of Consciousness.
