Symposium 2011 - Science, Preaching, and the Church

We believe God is sovereign over the natural world, including the amazing things discovered by modern science. Christians have readily accepted the technological and medical benefits of modern science but have often ignored or rejected other scientific developments. In this workshop Deborah Haarsma gives a case study of Christian responses to the science of origins, including young earth creationism, intelligent design, and theistic evolution. Scott Hoezee discusses how the church can have a broader and more positive engagement with the scientific disciplines in sermons, worship, and the life of the church.
