Evolution, Epistemology, and Testimony: Science as a Language of Faith with Dr. Jamie Jensen

from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam

Join host Nathan Gwilliam and Dr. Jamie Jensen of BYU for a thought-provoking conversation that bridges the gap between lab benches and living rooms. Discover how a leading biology education researcher uses the tools of science - surveys, videography, data - to hear God's voice on her own terms. Jamie unveils reasoning patterns that keep faith and evolution in harmony, from respecting each epistemology's limits to resisting "God-of-the-gaps" thinking. She shares personal trials - from a broken engagement to life-threatening pregnancies - and how logical, research-driven insights became her spiritual compass. Learn why uncertainty isn't a threat but a pathway to deeper testimony, and how evidence both tangible and spiritual confirms her belief. Whether you wrestle with reconciling scripture and science or seek fresh perspectives on revelation, this episode offers a roadmap to blend both worlds with confidence.
