This conversation, I believe, is essential among academics. The reason is because when it comes to science, if we really think about it, to believe that the universe sprang by chance, solely through the laws of physics, is actually a faith-based position. And I have never been one to roll my eyes at the suggestion that there is design in the creation of the universe.

I wanted to have a conversation with someone about this and I knew that Mark Clark had to be that person. As lead pastor of the Village Church and author of two books on apologetics, I knew Mark would have insights into the age-old conflict that seems to exist between science and religion.

Anyone in the field of education knows that students will challenge the facts and assumptions of the great thinkers and disciplines. So knowing that this will happen, why not include it as part of your intellectual preparation. Rather than dismiss it quickly and unequivocally, study it and be prepared for a thoughtful discourse on the very thing that billions of Earthlings consider true.

This conversation will remind teachers that there is more to knowing your content area. We teach people, real people, who have thoughts and ideas of their own. Embrace them for who they are, accept their convictions, and celebrate our similarities and differences. That would be my advice coming out of almost three decades of teaching high school science.
