Science Corner: Summer Science News Round-Up

August 29, 2018 by Andy Walsh 1 Comment

We've had a busy summer--traveling, going to the movies, releasing a book--leaving less time to talk about current research. And there have been several recent stories making the rounds in Christian circles. They touch on questions many of us have about Adam and Eve, Noah, and the early history of the world. So I thought it might be worth a quick round-up of that research and what we've learned from it. … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Summer Science News Round-Up

As we anticipate summer rhythms, ESN wants to offer book suggestions from our readers. Our hope is that this will provide great conversation starters for ESN members as you engage with each other online and at events like the upcoming InterVarsity faculty retreats and the American Scientific Affiliation conference. We also hope you find some great summer reading. The format is simple: Give us the title, a quotation from the book if desired (150 words or less), and a paragraph on why this book is worth reading (for … [Read more...] about Summer Book Suggestion: Strange Survivors by Oné Pagán

Science Book Club: When Science & Christianity Meet Ch 11

April 18, 2018 by Andy Walsh 4 Comments

When I chose When Science and Christianity Meet for our book discussion, I thought it would keep us away from current politics. I figured The War on Science had given us enough of that for a while. Yet as the historical narrative encroaches further on the present, the relevance becomes harder to deny. If politics applies truth to arrive at policies, and if science is a way of discovering truth, then the two will inevitably be intertwined. That was the case in the Scopes trial nearly a century ago, and it's the case now. … [Read more...] about Science Book Club: When Science & Christianity Meet Ch 11

Science Book Club: The War on Science Ch 9-10

Reminder: we're having another video chat tomorrow night (7/13 9pm EDT). Feel free to join even if you couldn't come last time. We're in week 5 of discussing The War on Science and I have a confession/apology. I'm reading the book electronically and the table of contents has no page numbers, so I didn't realize this week's chapters were significantly longer than the others (Ch 1-2, Ch 3-4, Ch 5-6, Ch 7-8); Chapter 10 alone is nearly a quarter of the main content. In hindsight, it feels as though Otto primarily wanted … [Read more...] about Science Book Club: The War on Science Ch 9-10

Science Reader Question: Evolutionary Project Management

May 4, 2016 by Andy Walsh 6 Comments

A few months back, I received some questions here on the blog about evolutionary biology and its implications for Christian theology. They probed broadly and deeply, covering original sin, the problem of evil and many of the topics everyone asks about and indeed have been asking about since long before anyone conceived of a theory of evolution. These questions warrant more detailed answers than a few comments can provide, so I will be taking a look at them in some depth over the next few weeks. Looking ahead, I expect … [Read more...] about Science Reader Question: Evolutionary Project Management
