Public trust in science is eroding. Misinformation, disinformation, and polarization are making it increasingly difficult to navigate issues like health and the environment. How can faith guide our response to this challenging moment?
Join the Kaufman Interfaith Institute, the West Michigan Interfaith Academic Consortium, and BioLogos for a conversation about how faith shapes our response to some of today's biggest questions. The Grand Dialogue in Science and Religion will feature Dr. Francis Collins, a physician-scientist who led the Human Genome Project and served as Director of the National Institutes of Health under three presidential administrations.
Drawing on his new book, The Road to Wisdom, Dr. Collins will explore the roles of truth, science, faith, and trust in today's world. His keynote will be followed by a multi-faith conversation exploring social determinants of health and the challenge of restoring trust in institutions and scientific expertise.
