INSPIRING STORIES
IS SCIENCE COMPATIBLE WITH CHRISTIANITY?
As part of Christ Community’s fall series on doubt, “Help My Unbelief,” Lead Teaching Pastor Clayton Keenon will interview Ian Hutchinson, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering Emeritus at MIT during weekend services. He is an international expert on the physics of plasmas: the ionized fourth state of matter, especially how to confine plasmas hotter than the center of the sun so as to generate practical energy from fusion reactions, the power source of the stars.
In addition to directing a major national fusion research facility, authoring 250 scientific journal articles and two advanced science text books, he has also written and spoken widely on the relationship between science and Christianity. He has appeared in media formats including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, panels, broadcast TV debates, syndicated radio interviews, public lectures, and international news blogs. His book "Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles: An MIT Professor Answers Questions on God and Science," addresses a wide range of tough questions he has been asked over decades of explaining science and Christianity.
