Science & Theology Discussion Group Resources
Among other initiatives, the science and theology conversation has been promoted and conducted at Regent College through weekly, informal, small group meetings. Here we list some of the resources that have been used to prompt such discussions.
Video Description
There is a popular conception that the historical relationship between science and religion has always been one of conflict or even all-out warfare. Historians of science call this the “conflict thesis.” In this short film, historians of science Dr. Lawrence Principe and Dr. Edward Davis examine the roots and social context of the conflict thesis. They explain that the conflict thesis can be traced primarily to the popular works of two 19th century Americans: John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White.

Video Description
There is something incredibly beautiful about reflecting on the past. Today we have access to innovative technology and decades of valuable research data that allow us to observe the dynamic history of the of the world in a new way. By examining the fossil record and DNA of various lifeforms, scientists can gather a general picture of the history of life on Earth and how it has developed through time. In this film, Drs. Sean Carrol, Jeff Hardin, and Neil Shubin explore key ideas about the process of natural selection and evolution, the observation of convergence in biological organisms, and the human connection to evolutionary history.

Video Description
What does it mean to be human? We often strive to understand our uniqueness in this world by evaluating differences between ourselves and other living organisms. In this film, Drs. Georgia M. Dunston, Frans De Waal, and Rick Potts take a different approach, observing the similarities that exist between species and considering who we are in light of common ancestry and advances in genetics, primatology, and anthropology. They explain how new discoveries allow us to piece together a greater understanding of who we are as humans.
