Overcoming the Faith and Science Divide

by Alister McGrath

When a faithful scientist carefully confronts the new atheists about their embarrassing ignorance of Christian theology, is the attitude of the church toward modern science a help or a hindrance? Alister McGrath, a former atheist and scientist, now a prominent theologian, shares his inside perspective on the benefits of Christians and science getting along.

Excellent resource for the church. We have no need to fear the scientific Atheists. Most of them are sincerely searching for truth but have mistakenly or unknowingly made science their god. Unfortunately for them, that god continually changes because it built upon observation and experiment. The true and living God never changes and His Word never changes. Consistency always prevails in the end. In this we have the confidence. We need to intelligently engage people where they are and in love guide them in truth. Thank you for this video.

Francis Collins just posted this New Hope Church faith science sermon on his website. Preaching faith and science has changed our church community. Scientists helped write and preach sermons. The process was brilliant! Gonna preach 5 more sermons this year! Here's the link http://bit.ly/kAMneK

What a powerful way of looking at science, our faith and the Great Commission! We need to see this area as an opportunity to share truth. It's such an amazing mission's field when you think about it. This was very convicting as well, because I am not a science person necessarily (actually I am an art major), but as Christians we have such an important role to play as support for those Christians who are being science ambassadors. How are we supporting them as they go and speak truth? We need to interact more with the sciences, and scientific culture.

Really thankful to have seen this video--
