CLUB HIGHLIGHT

crown.edu crown.edu /science

SCIENCE IS GOD’S EQUATION TO CREATION Science is not the enemy of faith but the exploration of God’s handiwork. Former Faith/Science Club president and now veterinary student Abbi Christensen explains, “God and science are synergistic. Meaning science actually allows you to deepen your faith through God’s creation because you begin to realize how complex and beautiful His design is. For me, this club was exploring faith on a deeper level.”

The Faith/Science Club serves three primary purposes: › To facilitate student exploration of areas around faith and science › To engage the Crown faith community, both within and beyond the department, in science-related activities › To build a sense of community in the Math and Science department

Dr. Aeisha Thomas, Ph.D. Dr. Thomas founded the Faith and Science Club alongside fellow educators as a part of a two-year program. The program is known as the Oxford Interdisciplinary Seminars in Science and Religion: Bridging the Two Cultures of Science and Humanities.

Education: › Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Harvard University › Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences in Public Health, Harvard University
