ONLINE: Why Christianity is Good for Science
BioLogos Voices speaker Ted Davis will present “Why Christianity is Good for Science” on Tuesday, November 10, 2020. This is an online virtual event hosted by Graduate Theological Union.
“A vocal group of contemporary scientists and others known as the “New Atheists” pit reason versus religion, fact versus faith, and science versus Christianity. This talk responds directly to that attitude. Drawing on information and insights from the history and philosophy of science, Dr. Davis will argue that Christian faith actually complements the picture of the world coming from the sciences, helping us to achieve a deeper understanding of both the way the world is and how we should go about understanding it, while providing a powerful motive for investigating nature. The Christian doctrine of creation help us to understand more of reality than science alone can study—including the very possibility of science itself as a form of knowledge about nature.”
