Abstract	As a science teacher, the author strives to make science an effective component of a liberal arts education. In this article, he describes a conceptual physics/astronomy course integrated with such humanities fields as history, art, and literature, which he has been teaching over the last 5 years. The course, entitled Physics of Heaven and Earth--A First Synthesis, has three main parts: Earth, Heaven, and Synthesis. It also has four main features designed to increase the appeal of science to a general audience--an evolutionary perspective, humanities connections, creativity in science, and links to contemporary physics.
