Truth in Science

I attended the 2025 Truth in Science event down in Staffordshire last weekend. Though mainly aimed at university students and Sixth Formers, I learned about the divine complexity of the human body, the amazing design of the foot and how our wonderful ability to swallow, points to a super-intelligent designer, not a random force or gradual development over squillions of years. From the sphere of geology, we were informed about vertical tree remains in horizontal layers of rock, as well as insights from the world of education, sexual ethics and gender ideology. One session dealt with why belief in creation matters from a theological perspective (for example, when death entered the world-before, or after, Adam). Although we are always in danger of having our pre-existing biases and opinions confirmed and echoed by the events we choose to attend, the impressive line-up of scientists made this a powerfully informative and persuasive weekend.

Dr Peter Williams, Professor Stuart Burgess, Dr David Galloway, Professor Andy Mcintosh, Dr Julie Maxwell and a whole host of other contributing speakers made a fine job of helping us glimpse the Creator’s genius and His creation’s reflective splendour. Truly, we are latter day Pauls standing before a mocking, ambivalent, or politely dismissive Areopagus, proclaiming an unfashionable, foreign-sounding babble, yet the message is the very truth of God evidenced by the world He made. There are still voices in this land prepared to resist the Lie.

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, Acts 17: 26-28b
