Science Faith and Reasoning
by Daniel Faucett
My name is Daniel Faucett. I am a father and a husband. I believe in Reformed Christian apologetics, and I attempt to make a clear case for the truth of Christ found in the Gospel. I hope to declare the reality of His saving grace with humility, patience, and respect. I believe the scientific enterprise and philosophy also point to God in many areas, and I attempt to highlight those areas here and through the SFR website (scifr.com).If you are an atheist, agnostic, Arminian, Orthodox, Catholic, or Non-denominational, I welcome you and hope to build your trust over time as we engage in these
