Did Faith and Reason Really Get a Divorce?

What if science and faith were never actually divorced — and the people who told you they were got the story backwards?Pastor Kent Keller takes us through one of the most contested cultural narratives of our day: the story that science and the Christian faith are at war.Drawing on Genesis 1, Psalm 19, and the work of modern thinkers like John Lennox, this message moves through three movements: how Bible-believing Christians actually built modern science (Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Pascal, Faraday), how the cosmos itself testifies to a Creator (anthropic principle, fine-tuning, the genetic code), and where science reaches its limit — culminating in a Mother’s Day landing on Psalm 139 and the truth that a mother’s love for an unborn child she has never met is the closest thing in this life to the unconditional love of God.“Science can tell you a lot about what and how. Science can tell you nothing about who and why. And for that you need God.”— Preached at Christchurch Miami on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2026.
