Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation

Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation

With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God’s creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.

Why Do More Homeschoolers Want Evolution in Their Textbooks?

Why Do More Homeschoolers Want Evolution in Their Textbooks?

"Many homeschool parents contact me or show up at my office and quietly say, 'Is there anything besides Young Earth Creationists?'"

A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins

A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins

What do today’s pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins

Evangelical Homeschoolers Ask for Accurate Science

Evangelical Homeschoolers Ask for Accurate Science

… whatever their reason for homeschooling, evangelical families who embrace modern science are becoming more vocal about it—and are facing the inevitable criticism that comes with that choice.

The Lesson of Grace in Teaching

The Lesson of Grace in Teaching

I want to talk about my biggest life lesson, that is deep and profound, and continually reshapes the way I approach my students: Your accomplishments are not what make you a worthy human being. And you learn this when someone shows you grace, good things you didn't earn or deserve but you're getting them anyway. Because grace gives people dignity they don't have to earn.

A Plea to My Shepherds

A Plea to My Shepherds

... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career, Part 1

A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career, Part 1

In particular, I was interested in pursuing a career in paleontology or ecology, and I became even more convinced in college, that I had to make a profound choice – either I chose a career in science and reject YEC claims that had no basis in reality, or I would have to abandon a science career all together.

A Tale of Two Worldviews: Being a Biology Teacher in a Christian School

A Tale of Two Worldviews: Being a Biology Teacher in a Christian School

The first challenge for me at the beginning of each school year is to clarify the students’ understanding of evolution as it has been taught in their Bible and pre-requisite science courses. Invariably, they come back with the same answer: “Evolution is a lie,” to which I respond with, “Which aspects of evolution are you talking about?”

Worshiping, Growing, and Learning

Worshiping, Growing, and Learning

Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.

Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross

Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross

If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?

<strong>Series:</strong> “And God Saw That It Was Good”: Death and Pain in the Created Order

Series: “And God Saw That It Was Good”: Death and Pain in the Created Order

The tension generated by our understanding of God’s character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.

What I Would Like To Hear A Young-Earth Creationist Say

It may come as a surprise that when asked by The Colossian Forum what one thing he would like to hear Young Earth Creationists say, his answer had nothing to do with scientific statements at all. Rather, his hope is to hear a single simple phrase: “We’re both part of the same family.”
