Thank you all for your input. The course proposal is now in the committee's
hands (and God's). For those of you interested, you can find a copy of the
proposed syllabus online at http://people.uis.edu/kdung1/class/lscsy.htm
I found out that I just missed the final year of the Templeton grant for
Science and Religion courses.
