Can science and faith truly work together? Drawing from decades of experience as a NASA astronaut, Jeff Williams challenges the popular myth that science and Christianity are in conflict. Through breathtaking stories from spaceflight, stunning views of Earth from the International Space Station, and insights from the history of science, he demonstrates that scientific discovery flourishes within a biblical worldview.
Jeff explores how the order, beauty, precision, and mathematical structure found throughout creation point to an intelligent Creator. Highlighting the contributions of pioneering Christian scientists such as Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and Louis Pasteur, he reveals how belief in God’s orderly creation provided the foundation for modern scientific advancement. He also explains why the perceived conflict between science and Scripture is rooted in cultural narratives rather than historical reality.
Building on these principles, Jeff shares the vision for the Pacific Northwest Science & Wonders Center—a future destination dedicated to exploring science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics through a biblical worldview. This inspiring presentation calls Christians to reclaim wonder, embrace discovery, and see scientific exploration as part of humanity’s God-given purpose to steward and understand His creation.
