Shakespeare and Dynamic Infallibilism by David Opderbeck
Conversations about Christian faith and science always implicate the doctrine of scripture. In evangelical circles, this discussion unfortunately often becomes heated and difficult. It is a discussion, however, that we must have if we are really concerned about truth, the authority of the Word of God, the welfare of the Church, and the quality of the Church’s proclamation of the Gospel. In that spirit, I’d like to offer a perspective… Continue reading
Let the Waters Teem-David Opderbeck
Here’s a fascinating report on the recently concluded “ocean census” (full report here). As one of the researchers notes:
“At the end of the Census of Marine Life, most ocean organisms still remain nameless and their numbers unknown,” said biologist Dr. Nancy Knowlton of the Smithsonian Institution, leader of the Census’ coral reef project.
“This is not an admission of failure. The ocean is simply… Continue reading
How I found God and peace with my atheist brother: PETER HITCHENS
Whilst this website is not primarily seeking to develop an apologetic response to a militant atheism – we see the proactive possibilities of a greater integration of science and faith as more exciting than a reactive ‘defence’ – the issue is certainly a pertinent one. This link will take you to an interesting article regarding one of the primary actors in our modern drama, Christopher Hitchens, and his brother, now… Continue reading
Words of Wisdom – Loren Wilkinson
Loren Wilkinson, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Regent College is a man long associated with integrating the realms of scientific and religious understanding. Furthermore, he is a poet farmer, a significant upgrade (in my book) on Plato’s notion of a philosopher king! He has truly influenced many throughout his numerous years as a teacher. If you are at all confused, intrigued, or passionate about the integration of faith and science… Continue reading
Denis Lamoureux – Evolution and Faith
Denis Lamoureux, Associate Professor of Science & Religion at St. Joseph’s College, University of Alberta, is a well known contributor to the evolution/creationism conversation. With doctorates in dentistry, theology, and biology, he has been on quite a journey, first seeking and then developing an understanding of the integration of God’s ‘two books’ of revelation – a journey that matches quite well with the purposes of this site! He has written… Continue reading
Resignation of Bruce Waltke over issues of science and faith
It was with astonishment and shared grief that I processed the news of the resignation of our beloved colleague, Professor Bruce Waltke from his post at Reformed Theological Seminary over the issue of his belief in creation by evolution. Astonishment because this is surely not a creedal issue, and such an action violates the preservation of Christian unity and catholicity which is grounded in matters of confessional orthodoxy… Continue reading
Science and Faith together
Central to the understanding of those involved in this website is the notion that there is plenty of room for both science and faith to flourish in the life of an individual and in the life of society. What is more to difficult to state succinctly is how these two areas interact with each other and relate to each other. We believe all truth is God’s truth, so that anything… Continue reading

Evolution and ‘Creationism’
“Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one ‘truism’ – that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view on the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all.”
So begins Tim Keller in an article titled “Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople”
The BioLogos Foundation has commissioned a number of eminent scholars to write papers on all sorts of… Continue reading
Matter over Mind
‘you,’ your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. As Lewis Carroll’s Alice might have phrased it: ‘You’re nothing but a pack of neurons.’
So Stephen M. Barr, Professor of physics at the University of Delaware, quotes Francis Crick at… Continue reading
New N.I.H Chief
With Francis Collins appointment to the directorship of the National Institutes of Health comes a great deal of noise, not the least due to his public faith. The New York Times has a great introductory article.

Every year, Regent College holds a conference for pastors from all over the world. This year, the conference is titled ‘Wonder and Devotion: Bringing Science and Faith Together for the Church’.
With plenary speakers such as Denis Alexander (the Director of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, St Edmund’s College, Cambridge), Alan Torrance (Chair of Systematic Theology, University of St Andrews), Iain Provan (Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical… Continue reading
Science, faith belong together
Bishop Linda Nicholls, the anglican bishop for Trent-Durham in the diocese of Toronto in Canada has written an article outlining the necessity for christians to hold science and faith in close relationship. Well worth a read. See page 4 of the following link.
Faith and Science
Dr. Jennie McLaurin, associate professor of bioethics at Regent College in Vancouver, as well as a physician with over 25 years of experience working with poor migrant communities has been writing a number of articles for the ChristianWeek.org website in the areas of Faith and Science.
With titles like: ‘Constructing Children in our own image’; ‘To enhancement, and beyond?’; ‘The task of re-faithing science’; and ‘See the world with… Continue reading
Botox 4 the brain
Technology is rapidly reaching the point of being able to interact with our very understanding of what it means to be a human being, influencing hitherto unreachable aspects of our human nature. Neuroethics and Transhumanism are two burgeoning fields seeking to engage with this area. Unfortunately, there is a decided lack of Christian voice in these areas. The ‘Botox 4 the brain: Neutroethics, Transhumanism and Christian Thought’ is a blog site… Continue reading
Thought for the day
“It is because both science and religion have been too narrowly conceived, and have been too exclusively dichotomized and separated from each other, that they have been seen to be two mutually exclusive worlds” Continue reading
