Dear reader,
A new poll shows that for young adults in particular, belief in God is plummeting. From research, we know a primary driver behind a loss of faith among young people is the church’s rejection of science. To put it bluntly: Young people aren’t leaving the faith because of science, they’re leaving because they’ve been told to choose between science and God. That’s why BioLogos exists—to show that science and faith can work hand-in-hand. And although the challenge is clearly daunting, our work is having an impact!
As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of grassroots donors like you to reach those who are being told, “It’s God or evolution!” or “It’s God or vaccines!” or “It’s God or science!” In this urgent moment, we need your help to continue to produce resources such as this.
A 3-8 week session, high school curriculum for use with the Test of Faith DVD (adult materials have also been developed). This unique program seeks to defend belief in God against claims that modern science eliminates the plausibility of religious faith.
Viewers hear from scientists and theologians who are at the top of their academic fields and who also have a deep commitment to the Christian faith. Each session creates space for young people to explore the issues, express their thoughts, and learn about how the Bible relates to the issues. Both homeschool and youth group materials have been created.
