Seven Science Conversation Starters/Logs

1. What do you think of the cake analogy? (How, What of a cake vs. Who, Why it was made) Do you think there are limits to what science can explain for us?

2. Do you think someone can be a serious scientist and also believe in the tenets of historic orthodox Christianity?

3. How do you think your trust in science shapes your the rest of your beliefs?

4. If a current reigning scientific paradigm in which you deeply trust — for instance Darwinian evolution — was falsified by the world’s leading scientists, what effect do you imagine it would have on your belief structure?

5. Do you think science requires faith in the same way that religion does? Does scientism have prophets like Christianity has prophets? Are they unbiased?

6. When you say “Science says…” which hypothesis, theory, law, research are you referring to?

7. If you could talk to God, what do you think he'd say about science? (What would Jesus say)
