Organized by Duke Center for Christianity and Scholarship

BioLogos Voices speaker and board member Praveen Sethupathy will present “Common Ground Between Science and Faith” on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 7:00 PM (Eastern).

Praveen Sethupathy, Associate Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Cornell University, will share how, in his view, science and faith harmonize beautifully even in our consideration of questions that are the most fundamental to the human experience. This is particularly relevant today, not only as debates rage about evolution and climate change, but also as we wrestle with the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine safety. Is there common ground to be found between science and faith?

This event is hosted by the Center for Christianity and Scholarship at Duke University.
