Science, Faith, and the Pursuit of Truth
What does it mean to pursue truth — and how do we know what we know? Science and religion have often been assumed to offer either contradictory or unrelated forms of knowledge, with any intersection between them presumed to be a conflict.
Such assumptions have grown more contentious in recent years in a world awash in misinformation and epistemic battles. How do science and faith relate in pursuing truth? What might each have to say to the other? And how might such a conversation enhance our understanding of knowledge itself?
On Friday, March 25 2022, The Trinity Forum
hosted a conversation with Elaine Howard Ecklund and Ted Davis to show how science and Christianity intersect in constructive, even beautiful ways.
This conversation is a part of our Discovery and Doxology series, and hosted in partnership with
Biologos and
Church of the Advent and made possible through the support of
Templeton Religion Trust. This series brings together leading scientists, philosophers, and theologians to discuss the relationship between science and faith.

Christian View of Science and Scripture, Bernard Ramm
Richard Dawkins
