Hasn't science disproved God?
Science studies how nature works; it cannot by itself say whether nature is all there is. Many founders of modern science were believers, and many leading scientists are today.
A category mistake
Science explains processes; God is the reason there is anything to explain. Explaining how an engine works does not disprove the engineer.
Scientists who believe
Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell all believed in God. Today Francis Collins, who led the Human Genome Project, has written about his faith in The Language of God (2006).
1The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

2Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Where Christians disagree
- Christians hold different views on the age of the earth and on evolution. Those are disputes about interpretation within the faith, not between science and God.

Why the evidence matters
If Jesus rose, His offer is real
God loves you and gave His Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish.
