Healing through the ESN Steam Grant Project

October 21, 2018 by ESN Announce Leave a Comment

Stephanie Holmer

When I was approached to lead conversations with graduate students about science and faith topics as part of the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) STEAM grant project, I accepted with a good deal of hesitation. I had grown up with a narrative of science and Christianity being in conflict, had no resources for resolving that narrative as an undergraduate chemistry major, and became totally exhausted of the topic by the time I was starting my graduate school journey. Things were no different by the time I graduated and … [Read more...] about Healing through the ESN Steam Grant Project

Summary and Reflection on the Christianity and Science Series

May 14, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 22 Comments

Introduction Are Christianity and science at war? This was a major concern for me when I came to faith in Christ 22 years ago in the middle of my career as a biology professor at Iowa State University. Although it did not prevent me from coming to faith in Christ, it continued to trouble me and caused doubts about my faith in the early years after my conversion to Christianity. I wondered whether modern science is really compatible with belief in God and whether it is possible to reconcile the Bible's account of … [Read more...] about Summary and Reflection on the Christianity and Science Series

Nature as a Christian Apologetic: Intelligent Design Revisited

May 7, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 1 Comment

Introduction This is the second of a two-part series addressing the question of whether nature can be used as a Christian apologetic. Natural theology is a discipline that systematically explores the proposed link between God and nature. The traditional approach to natural theology seeks to prove God's existence from what is observed in nature without reference to the Bible or other religious texts. The problem with this approach is that nature is ambiguous with respect to the question of God's existence. In my … [Read more...] about Nature as a Christian Apologetic: Intelligent Design Revisited
