WHAT: "The Language of God: A Believer Looks at the Human Genome" by Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Institute
WHEN: Friday, April 11, 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Brown Chapel, PLNU campus
This event is free to the public. Tickets are not required.
The national director of the human genome project is evangelical Christian Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. His book, The Language of God, published a year and a half ago has been a best seller. At a time when science and the Christian faith seem to many to say vastly different things about life’s origins and history, Dr. Collins is noted as a spokesperson for the position that both science and Christian faith are united. Each informs the other. Each points in the same direction. Science and faith, even evangelical faith, he believes, can exist in harmony.
On Friday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m., Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, will speak at Point Loma Nazarene University in Brown Chapel. As leader of the Human Genome Project, which successfully sequenced human DNA, Dr. Collins offers a unique perspective on the relationship between science and faith.
Dr. Collins will offer a unique perspective on the relationship between science and faith. He is speaking in conjunction with his visit to San Diego for the West Coast Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Conference, which PLNU is hosting on Saturday, April 12.
