How has modern science affected our ideas and views about God? Does our increasing understanding of how the world and the Universe works, affirm traditional Christian concepts of God, or is it challenging us to reimagine who God is and how He works in the world? Can we still believe in miracles and divine intervention? With our modern understanding of cancer, earthquakes, and mass extinctions, can we still believe in an unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing, yet loving God?
