Organized by BioLogos

In the midst of the coronavirus crisis, BioLogos is committed to bringing you rigorous science and helping you reflect on it through the lens of biblical faith. Francis Collins is a follower of Jesus, using his talents to serve the nation and the world at this critical time.

The event will include not only current data and projections, but discussion of what it means to be the church and love our neighbors at this time.

Invite your family, friends, students, church, and coworkers to tune in! You can watch the live stream at the BioLogos website, or tune in via Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. A recording of the event will be available soon after the event, and also be available on the Language of God podcast.

Francis Collins

Featured Speaker

Francis Collins

BioLogos was founded by one of the top biologists in the world, Dr. Francis Collins. He led the Human Genome Project and now directs the National Institutes of Health. In 2006, he wrote the best-selling book The Language of God in which he tells his journey from atheism to Christian belief, showing that science is not in conflict with the Bible, but actually enhances faith. The outpouring of response to the book showed the need for virtual and actual meeting places to ask questions, discuss issues, and learn from the top Christian minds in the sciences and theology.
