Author
Darrel Falk is the author of Coming to Peace with Science: Bridging the Worlds Between Faith and Biology and speaks frequently on the relationship between science and faith at universities and seminaries. From 2010 to 2012, he served as president of BioLogos. Under his leadership, the BioLogos website and daily blog grew to thousands of readers and hundreds of authors, the Biology by the Sea workshop trained Christian biology teachers, and private workshops in New York were a forum for conversation and worship with top evangelical leaders. As president, he brought BioLogos into conversation with Southern Baptist leaders and with Reasons to Believe, and today he continues to be a key member of those dialogues.
Falk received his B.Sc. (with Honors) from Simon Fraser University, and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta. He did postdoctoral work at The University of British Columbia and the University of California, Irvine before accepting a faculty position at Syracuse University in New York. Darrel’s early research focused on Drosophila molecular and developmental genetics with funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. In 1988 he transitioned into Christian higher education in the biology department at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, where he is now Emeritus Professor of Biology. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Genetics Society of America, and the American Scientific Affiliation.
On Reverse Engineering the Human Embryo
Exciting advances in biotechnology present us with difficult ethical questions about the earliest stages of human life.
New Advances in Gene Editing of Human Embryos
The technology to “fix” genetic defects in embryos is fast developing. Christians need to be informed.
Genetic “Scars”: Compelling Evidence for Human Evolution
There are thousands of shared genetic “scars” between humans primates. The best explanation, by far, is evolution.

Moon Landing Memories
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in 1969, we asked some of those in our network that remember the day well to tell us about where they were during the making of history...
BioLogos and the Mind of Christ
What does it mean to be of one mind, when two minds hold vastly different views about a particular matter? Striving to live out the answer to that question has always been at the heart of the BioLogos project.

The Fool and the Heretic
This book is a deeply personal story told by two respected scientists who hold opposing views on the topic of origins, share a common faith in Jesus Christ, and began a sometimes-painful journey to explore how they can remain in Christian fellowship when each thinks the other is harming the church.
