Transcript

Eli: Did science actually go looking for God and come up empty?

Eli: I get why it feels that way.

Eli: But scholars like John William Draper, around 1874, argued that they've always been in conflict. Historians of science haven't held that view for a very long time.

Eli: Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar, is often credited with formalizing the scientific method.

Eli: And some scientists, like Francis Collins and Kenneth Miller, see faith and science as compatible.

Eli: That doesn't prove God, though. Richard Dawkins sees it differently. Some, like Stephen Jay Gould, saw science and religion as non-overlapping, addressing separate forms of knowledge and parts of life.

Eli: The Bible's Psalms put it this way.

Eli: The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

Eli: If you're wondering about Jesus, read one of the Gospels slowly, or ask God honestly if he's there.

Eli: Or bring your questions to a local church.
