rt Imitating Life

“Navigation systems” in birds and butterflies? “Gears” in insects?

Modern science continues to reveal remarkable features in plants and animals that are stunning in their complexity, surprising scientists of all beliefs and backgrounds.

Indeed, these features outmatch some of our most sophisticated technologies and have even inspired innovations in fields ranging from medicine to architecture.

“Stop and consider the wondrous works of God.”
Job 37:14

This exhibition explores the Bible’s role in the historical relationship between science and religion. Many today believe that religious faith and the natural sciences are very separate subjects. Indeed, many consider the Bible to be an obstacle to scientific progress. Yet, for centuries, faith and the study of nature were very much entangled. At times, biblical beliefs helped encourage people to study the world. They even influenced the rise of science as we know it today.
