Given the enormity of evil & suffering, can the world make sense? To Abrahamic religions, with an all-powerful, all-good God, evil & suffering are problems to solve. To Eastern religions, evil & suffering are keys to human fulfillment and all reality.

What kinds of afterlives do the world's religions offer? Soul/spirit in heaven or hell, with or apart from God? Reincarnation with innumerable rebirths, seeking liberation and nirvana? Resurrection of the body, reuniting with a soul/spirit?

Science and religion: clash or consilience? Science commands broad consensus, which religion cannot. Religion claims ultimate insight, which science cannot. Should the conflict be taken seriously?
