The narrative today seems to suggest that science and faith are in conflict. This lesson focuses on exploring the reality that if we take the time to deeply understand science and faith, we can learn the ways in which they complement and differ from each other. We want to help students navigate the felt tension between science and faith guided by Scripture, discussion, and God’s spirit.

Some of the most pertinent questions are:

• Can I love science and love God?

• Does science disprove Christianity?

• Why does the church seem to hate scientific facts?

• Do I have to choose between science and faith?

We strongly recommend that you create a box where students can write down and submit questions as you go along. It’s very likely they will be addressed at some point in the series, but this way you will know where your students are at in the process and you can tailor the lessons to them.

We are sure you can add to this list. We also know that there are not pat answers to any of these questions that will satisfy students long term. The most effective way to answer them is to allow students to experience the truth for themselves through a number of means. We strongly recommend that the curriculum prompts that include scripture, prayer, and discussion be utilized, but all that is up to you.

One of our foundational beliefs is that the Holy Spirit does the work of convincing. We encourage you and your team to lean into that belief as well. Our job is not to argue anyone into the Kingdom or to berate another’s beliefs, but to present better questions, the testimony of people, and the scriptures.
