Paul Hert taught mathematics at Mt. San Jacinto College from 1992 through 2011. He then became the Assessment and Program Review Coordinator until he retired in 2021.
Our first series on "Which god is God?" was led by Adrian Adams and explored the claims of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, the New Age Movement, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We explored: (1) How was each religion founded? (2) Do they all worship the same God? (3) Do all paths lead to heaven? (4) How can we evaluate their claims using the rules of evidence?
Adrian J. Adams is President of a National Research Foundation and is the founding member of a Critical Issues Think Tank. He is also the Managing Partner of a 20-lawyer law firm headquartered in Los Angeles. Although he lives in Los Angeles, Adrian has a home in Idyllwild and spends his weekends here.
