Ronny Nalin - Design and Catastrophe: book launch

Design. Catastrophe. Two simple but very strong words. A book recently published by Andrews University Press presents a collection of short essays written by 51 professional scientists, men and women of faith from a wide range of disciplines, who demonstrate in their respective areas of expertise some aspect of the design:catastrophe paradigm. In this interview-style presentation, some of the authors discuss how the evidence for design and catastrophe in nature invites us to look to the Scriptures for an explanation that provides meaning and purpose for what we discover in the world around us.

Believing the Bible and Believing Science

There is a myth that has been repeated over and over again, yet no amount of repetition can make it true. It says that Christians live in a world of faith that somehow denies reality and that science is only about reality. According to these twin falsehoods, Christians must put aside their faith to be scientists and science has ultimate authority when it comes to the truth about our world and our origin. Join us as we discover why many of the greatest scientists, both past and living, have been led by their Christian faith to be scientists.

Timothy Standish - I Believe!

Do “The heavens declare the glory of God”? How could anyone know if it’s true? Is truth something that is proven or something that is discovered and recognized? What is the cost of believing what is True? In this presentation, Dr. Standish addresses these foundational questions and shares his testimony of belief in the Word of God.

Suzanne Phillips - My God Did This!

Faith is foundational to the Christian experience, yet God has not let Himself without a testimony. Part of this testimony of the creatorship and godliness of God is material, and can be encountered in the study of the natural world. In this presentation, Dr. Phillips discusses some of the realities revealed in the Bible that are also discoverable using the methods of science, and shares her personal experience of amazement in encountering, while studying biochemistry, a God who is truly worthy of worship.

Noemí Durán - In the Beginning, There Was Love

“Survival of the fittest" and “struggle for existence." You have probably heard these expressions before, likely in connection with one of the most famous concepts in evolution: natural selection. Competition and violence are presented as the necessary tool that allowed for the emergence of biodiversity, in contrast with the biblical account of a “very good" creation. In this talk, Dr. Durán illustrates fascinating examples of altruism and cooperation in the animal world, challenging the dominant narrative and pointing back to the time when animals were designed to show the loving character of God.

Ronny Nalin - In the Beginning God Created

Does the Bible present an understanding of origins that is obsolete in light of modern advancements in scientific knowledge? Are there better witnesses to truth than the Word of God, when it comes to origins? In this talk, Dr. Nalin shares his testimony of trust in the infinite wisdom of the Word of God, and introduces contributions from other scientists who have dedicated their life to the study of nature and have found that God's revelation is trustworthy in a way that pierces through all times and cultures.

Scientists, Christians and Creationists

Science and religion have not always been seen as opposing worldviews. In fact, the birth of modern science is intimately related to the Christian religion. Early scientists developed their research with the intention of discovering the laws and mechanisms used by God in the creation and workings of the universe. In all ages, even today, great scientists have combined and complemented their scientific activity with their faith in God and an active religious life. Some of them, moreover, have decided to trust that the biblical account of origins tells what really happened, and have found scientific evidence to support this idea.
