“Faith & Science” Adult Education Series
9:30-10:30am in APC’s Theater
Author Paul Wallace will share a 3-part series based on his book, “Love and Quasars: An Astrophysicist Reconciles Faith and Science.” Wallace holds an MDiv from Emory University and a PhD in Nuclear Physics from Duke University. He shares how he grew up as a church-going Christian, but lost his faith as he discovered a passion for science. Slowly and deliberately, he investigated them both and ultimately came back to Christianity. Wallace shows how faith and science are pitted against each other and why the standard ways of reconciling them don’t work. He shares a reasonable, thoughtful approach that will appeal to Christians and students of science alike.
