Does God Have a Future?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \u201cNightline\u201d tackles this question and other delicate questions related to faith and spirituality in a \u201cFace Off\u201d to air Tuesday, March 23. Featuring<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Dr. Deepak Chopra, author of How to Know God <\/em>and Dr. Jean Houston, a prominent scholar, philosopher and writer facing off against Dr. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine<\/em> and contributor to Scientific American<\/em> and Dr. Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith, <\/em>the panelists will debate the tension between God and Science.  <\/span>Is there scientific proof that God exists or has science made it so that God is no longer relevant? <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This \u201cFace-off,\u201d \u201cNightline\u2019s\u201d sixth since launching the series three years ago, will take place <\/span>Sunday, March 14 at The California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California and will be moderated by ABC News anchor Dan Harris, <\/strong>who covers faith issues for the network.  <\/span>The \u201cNightline\u201d Face-Off is a<\/span> debate style format where hot topics get discussed among prominent voices in their field. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 
\n<\/font><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Chopra and Houston contend the universe is proof that there is intelligence at the heart of creation and that a person needs to look beyond what can be seen and touched while Shermer and Harris<\/span> <\/span>advocate that science and biology can explain what is happening to people when they pray, meditate and believe in God and that evolution can explain why our beliefs developed. <\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cFace Off\u201d<\/strong> will be held at Cal Tech University\u2019s Beckman Auditorium in Pasadena, CA on Sunday, March 14th at 2:00pmPST.
