In this session, two young scientists present arguments for design from their research.
In ‘God's Engineering Genius: Evidence for God's Creativity and Ingenuity’, Delia Vasilca asks, What do a ship built to survive a global flood and the flight of a hummingbird have in common? Both are marvels of engineering–and both point to the wisdom of their Designer. What can we learn about God from the precision, complexity, and creativity we find in Scripture and in nature? Drawing from both biblical accounts and examples from the natural world, this talk invites us to see the fingerprints of divine engineering all around us.
In ‘A Chemist’s Evidence for a Creator’, Desmond Koomson takes participants on a journey through the fascinating world of chemistry to explore life’s deepest questions. From the fine-tuning of carbon in stars to the elegant order of the periodic table, this talk shows how science can reveal design, purpose, and beauty in nature. Drawing on historical and modern examples of chemists who saw science as revealing the mind of God, the talk invites reflection on how faith and science can coexist, inspiring meaning, ethics, humility, and wonder in God and the world around us.
