Faith Science
Welcome to Faith Science, a podcast where faith and science intersect in fascinating conversations. Join us as we talk with guests about how their pursuit of knowledge and understanding has affected their faith in God. In a world where atheism often claims science as its own, we present a different narrative: the pursuit of knowledge in science can coexist with and even strengthen belief in the Divine. Faith Science offers a unique perspective with inspiring stories, thoughtful reflections, and a celebration of the harmony between belief and empirical discovery.
