Many times there has been talk of clashes between science and faith, specifically Christianity. In history, cases such as those of Galileo Galilei, forced by the Inquisition to deny that the Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun, not to name other characters who ended up worse than him, such as Giordano Bruno.
But for a NASA astronaut, they can go hand in hand without contradicting each other. He is retired army colonel jeff williams, veteran of four space flights.
Williams headlined the conference Writing and Science: Our universe, ourselves, our place, which was held in the Museum of the Bible in Washington.
Born in 1958, Williams served with the Army at the Johnson Space Center from 1987 to 1992, before training as a test pilot. In 1996 he was selected by NASA as an astronaut candidate, traveling to space for the first time in 2000.
He is the author of the book The Work of His Hands: A View of God’s Creation from Space.
But, what does colonel williams argue to ensure that science and Christianity do not contradict each other?

Those who reject that there is a Creator “have to explain the existence of everything by chance over time,” says the astronaut, quoted by ACI Press.
Furthermore, Williams indicates that “many of the scientists of the age of science, whom we all read about in our textbooks on the laws of physics and chemistry, first they were believers.”

Appointment to Johannes Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, and James Clerk Maxwell. “(They) were driven by their faith and their understanding of the call before God to fulfill that vocation.”
“I want to talk about how the Bible supports and informs science with the elements of the mathematical order of God’s creation, our vocation as humans, image bearers of God, and how God has equipped us to explore and extract that order and use it for the glory of God and the good of humanity,” said astronaut Williams.
