Science & Scripture with Dr. Praveen Sethupathy Feb 14, 2019

Debates around science and scripture have persisted for years, and Christians often find themselves on different "sides" of various arguments. But does science and scripture naturally conflict?

The team discusses applications and takeaways from Praveen's talk that apply to those working in scientific fields as well as Christians at large.
