Join Dr. Haarsma in her other job!
The American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) is excited to partner with Science for the Church for this important online event.
Many Evangelicals accept mainstream science, yet as a group they remain more skeptical than other religious demographics about topics such as evolution, vaccination, and climate change. They are also less likely to trust scientists. Where does that skepticism come from, and what can help rebuild trust?
Join ASA member Deborah Haarsma, former president of BioLogos, for a live online conversation exploring her recent paper published in Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith. ASA President Janel Curry will lead the interview.
Rebuilding Trust: Science and Faith among Evangelicals
Thursday, October 1
1:00-2:00 PM EDT
Online
We'll discuss:
• Why Evangelical skepticism runs deeper than simple "anti-science" attitudes
• How the politicization of science has deepened distrust
• Communication approaches that research shows can rebuild trust
• Practical ways to stay in conversation with skeptical audiences
Whether you're a scientist, pastor, educator, or small group leader, this conversation offers research-backed guidance for navigating science and faith discussions in your church and community.
