Why Black Lives Matter for Science and Faith
- Featuring Bishop Claude Alexander,
- Deborah Haarsma,
- Lynette Strickland
- and Harvey Clemons Jr.
The conversations around science and faith, including at BioLogos, have too often left out the voices and concerns of our Black brothers and sisters. We all have the need to listen and learn, about the history of racism, about the experiences of African Americans, and about the systems that have harmed them while benefiting White people. Sadly, science and medicine have too often been a part of those systems.
This video is a recorded live stream panel discussion from June 16, 2020, led by Bishop Claude Alexander, a BioLogos board member. It features pastor and BioLogos Advisory Council member Harvey Clemons Jr., and biologist Lynette Strickland.
So What Is BioLogos?
Well it all began with a scientist and a book. Francis Collins, the physician and geneticist who led the Human Genome Project, wrote the book, The Language of God. In it he describes his own journey from atheism to Christian faith, and the harmony between Christianity and science.
Today, BioLogos continues to carry out the vision of Collins, showing that you don’t have to choose between modern science and biblical faith.
