God’s Word. God’s World. The Mission of BioLogos.

Are science and religion at war? Many people today believe they are in conflict. BioLogos exists to show that you don’t have to choose between modern science and biblical faith. Watch the video to learn more …

Tim Keller

Many people today, both secular and Christian, want us to believe that science and religion cannot live together. Not only is this untrue, but we believe that a thoughtful dialogue between science and faith is essential for engaging the hearts and minds of individuals today. BioLogos provides an important first step towards that end.

Insights on Faith & Science

At some point, many people started believing that the Bible and science are in conflict, that believing in one meant that you couldn’t accept the other. We think there’s a better way. A way where science and Christian faith can work together, hand in hand.
