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 issues regarding science and… 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 the beginning… 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.

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

The Language of God. Francis Collins.
Frances Collins was at the head of the Human Genome Project which succeeded in sequencing human DNA, and it is therefore not ‘hype’ when he is referred to as ‘one of the world’s leading scientists.’ Continue reading
Proper Confidence. Leslie Newbigin
The late Lesslie Newbigin had a long career as a missionary to India, and experience which gave him unusual insights into the deep differences between Hindu and Christian culture. Continue reading
The Lives of a Cell. Lewis Thomas
This collection of brilliant essays first appeared in The New England Journal of Medicince, and were published as a book 40 years ago. They are not obviously written from a religious perspective--but they convey a sense of awe, delight, and surprise both about the nature of the physical world--particularly the nature of biological life, and perhaps reflect as well as anything the attitude of astonished thankfullness that informs the best science. Continue reading
Book of the Cosmos. Dennis Danielson, ed.
Danielson, a Milton scholar with a lifetime interest in cosmology (and, incidentally, head of the UBC English department and a Regent board member), has collected, and wisely introduced, the best writings in the Western world on the nature of the universe. He begins with the Bible and ends with contemporary cosmologists, mathematicians and physicists. The book (like those by Thomas and Collins) is full of the sense of wonder, discovery and awe that come from our human attempts to understand the surprising world we find ourselves in. This is a book to sample, not to master. Continue reading
