The Theological Roots of Modern Science - Dr Fritz Schaefer
With the unprecedented importance of science in present-day society, it is rather common to hear those who claim that science and religion are incompatible.
Dr. Fritz Schaefer knows this first-hand, having often encountered disbelief that he is both a scientist and a Christian. The reality, however, is that the discipline of science itself has a theological pedigree and that many leading scientists are Christians.
In this talk, Dr. Schaefer explores the place of theology in the origins of science and details the religious views of many prominent scientists.

In this talk, Prof Schaefer discusses the historical origins of science within the Christian worldview. He also gives the testimonies of past and present scientists in many fields who have combined Christian faith with award-winning scientific discoveries, including many Nobel Prize winners.
This reminds us once again the embarrassing error of those who, displaying bare-faced modernist chauvinism, try to argue that true science and Christian faith are incompatible.
