To Infinity and Beyond: The Great Exploration of Science and Faith
How does a person of faith forge a career as a scientist? And how does a scientist explore questions of faith? While many regard faith and science as being disconnected, if not incompatible, I will instead argue from the perspective of Christian faith that they both are anchored in 4 similar pivot points about which healthy faith and productive scientific endeavours are based. Properly understood, faith and science become partners in a great exploration of our search for meaning.
