"In the Beginning" are 3 words that for centuries have been debated by theologians of all faiths, philosophers, and across several disciplines within the scientific community.

Join lecturer Scott Flaig for a holistic discussion of the beginning of everything.

Was there a beginning to the universe? Is the universe eternal? If there was a beginning, does that mean that there is an end as well? In this presentation Scott Flaig will discuss how the beginning is perceived through a holistic lens of faith, science, and reason. 

Mr. Flaig has a BS in Mathematics from the University of Dubuque, Certification in Cosmology from Yale University, and has presented nationally about the Mysteries of the Cosmos. He is the author of two books on cosmology and the mysteries of the universe.
