Growing in Faith

Growing up, David believed that Young Earth Creationism was the Christian position on origins and how God created. As he endeavored to learn more, he was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God’s method of creation. David studied biblical interpretation and found John Walton’s scholarship to be tremendously helpful in understanding the original purpose and intent of the Genesis narrative.

Reflecting on his personal journey, David thinks that it is important that we don’t oversimplify questions related to science and faith, but that we explore them deeply in order to understand science in a robust, Christian way.
