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 explores the remarkable engineering found in the natural world. From living systems that defy gravity to materials humans still cannot reproduce, nature is filled with designs that not only challenge modern science, but have also inspired some of our most advanced technological solutions. What do these designs reveal about the precision, complexity, and creativity behind them? This talk invites participants to look more closely and to ask the deeper question: where does this kind of engineering come from?
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.
