posterAbout the event
Yes, you are a Christian. And yes, you are a scientist.
Christianity had a huge and positive influence on the emergence of modern science. Many of the founders of the scientific disciplines that we practice today were people of deep faith whose Christian world-view motivated their scientific enquiry and shaped its practices and assumptions. That integration between science and faith was lost with the professionalization of science that took place from the late 19th century onwards so that today Christian scientists often practice their science in ways quite isolated from their faith. This seminar will explore, at a very practical level, the different ways in which Christians can once more integrate their science with their faith, discussing also some of the challenges that can arise by being a Christian involved in science.
