Faith and Science: Relying on the Unseen (3/25/15)

Description
What does a faith that Jesus admires look like? Speaking in connection with Wheaton College's 2015 Science Symposium, Associate Professor of Computer Science Dr. Thomas VanDrunen examines the story of the faithful centurion in Luke 7:1-10. Observing that 1), this faith is built on knowledge and understanding, 2) this faith is a humble faith, and 3) this faith does not rely on externals or incidentals, Dr. VanDrunen draws a parallel between faith and science. He uses examples from computer science to illustrate this parallel, showing that both in scientific pursuits and in our walks of faith, we must rely on things we cannot see our touch.
