Introduction: For many, the relationship between Christianity and science may seem like a source of ongoing tension, with science often painted as undermining the truths of Scripture. However, the question is not whether faith and science are in conflict, but how they can be integrated. Christianity teaches that God is the Creator of all things, and science can help us better understand the complexities of His creation. This forum will highlight how faith and science can complement each other and work together in a way that enriches both our spiritual and intellectual understanding. Key Discussion Points: Theological Perspectives on Science: The Bible presents a worldview that encourages exploration and curiosity about God’s creation. From the wonders of the natural world (Romans 1:20) to the study of the human body (Psalm 139:14), Scripture affirms the value of knowledge and discovery. The Compatibility of Faith and Scientific Inquiry: While some areas of science, such as the age of the earth or the nature of miracles, might create questions, Christians can embrace science as a method of investigating how God works in the natural world without compromising their core beliefs. Science's Role in Shaping Christian Thought: Scientific discoveries can deepen our appreciation for the world God created, and they challenge us to think more deeply about our role in the world. For example, the study of physics or astronomy can inspire awe and worship of the Creator.‍‍
