Science and faith in the eyes of emerging adults: Conversation with Greg Cootsona (6)

Do emerging adults see the relationship between science and faith in a different way? Dale speaks with Greg Cootsona, author of Mere Science and Christian Faith: Bridging the Divide with Emerging Adults, to talk about modern views on the intersection of science and faith, and how the emergence of technology and the internet is transforming our perceptions of the relationship?

Greg Cootsona teaches in the department of comparative religion and humanities at California State University at Chico. Greg directs Science for the Church, a project designed to bring the resources of science to strengthen congregational life. From 2016 to early 2019, he directed the Science and Theology for Emerging Adult Ministries at Fuller Seminary. Greg served as a pastor for 18 years, and he is published on numerous topics, recently focusing on the intersection of science and faith. He has authored the book Mere Science and Christian Faith: Bridging the Divide with Emerging Adults, which was published in 2018 by InterVarsity Press, and his book Negotiating Science and Religion in America: Past, Present, and Future will be published by Routledge Press next month. Greg also serves as an advisor to Biologos, DoSER (Dialogue on Science Ethics and Religion from the AAAS), Sinai and Synapses, and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences.
