Christopher Isham - Metaphysics vs. Materialism?

Metaphysics asks the most profound questions, then uses sophisticated philosophical analysis to seek the deepest truths. What happens when metaphysics trains its analytical guns on ‘materialism’, the claim that only the physical is real? What are the metaphysical arguments for and against materialism?

Matthews Grant - What is Predestination?

Predestination is ultimate destiny, fate. It is the claim by some religions that a Supreme Being, whether a personal God or a cosmic force, has determined for individual lives their ultimate course. When God foreordains, whether for salvation or for damnation, nothing can resist. Is this fair? Does this make sense? Would you like such a God?

Problem: Particle in a One-Dimensional Infinite Potential Well
A particle of mass m is confined in a 1D box with infinitely high walls at x=0 and x=L. Find the allowed energy levels and wavefunctions.

Ian McFarland - Cosmology and Creation

How do physicists and philosophers who believe in God harmonize the discoveries of cosmology with the doctrine of creation? How does cosmology enhance or erode their belief in God? If God exists, must the universe have had a beginning? Conversely, if the universe had a beginning, must God exist?
