Instructions for Using This Page

 Each of the sections of this web page links to a resource that will help to remind you of this module of our Science, Philosophy and Spirituality course.  Just click on the section, and you will be linked to the resource.  You may also download the presentation onto your smartphone or tablet, so that it is available to you during the meeting.

Unlike web pages for previous topics, this one incorporates a new feature into the downloadable presentation.  Instead of 19 separate handouts, each with its own link on this page, a clickable button has been incorporated into the presentation itself, at the appropriate slide.  Also, instead of an article to accompany the presentation, all the handouts have been collected into a single blog post, with the ability to move to any chosen one by clicking on the appropriate title in the table of contents.

An instruction sheet for both the new-style documents is available on this page.

Enjoy!
