Center for Science and Religion - Samford University

The center is committed to the ideas that science and religion are not inherently incompatible, and that insight into key science and religion issues has a rich history. Our mission is oriented around the belief there is much to learn and much work to be done in exploring new avenues of understanding and communicating current views to others. Outside its commitment to general Christian principles and an ongoing search for truth, the center does not exist to promote any particular scientific theory or point of view.
