Science / Faith or Both?
Helping Young People Think Clearly About Science, Faith, and Truth
Must faith and science be at odds?
Many young people grow up with the quiet assumption that they must eventually choose between trusting the Bible and accepting what they are taught in school. Science is often presented as objective and authoritative, while faith is treated as personal, emotional, or outdated. For some, this tension creates unease. For others, it leads to doubt, confusion, or the gradual erosion of confidence in Scripture.
Science / Faith or Both? was written to address that tension honestly and biblically. It does not dismiss science, nor does it ask young people to silence their questions. Instead, it helps them understand how science works, what it can and cannot claim, and why faith in God’s Word is not opposed to careful thinking.
Written for young people and those who teach them
This book is designed primarily for secondary-age students, but it is equally written for parents, youth leaders, pastors, and Christian educators who want to guide young people wisely through these questions. It is especially suitable for youth groups, Christian schools, home education, and church-based teaching settings.
The language is clear and respectful, avoiding unnecessary jargon while still treating readers as capable of serious thought. Young people are not talked down to, nor are their concerns brushed aside.
What this book aims to do
Rather than offering slogans or simplistic answers, this book helps young people learn how to think. It explores how scientific enquiry works, how assumptions and worldviews shape interpretation, and why disagreements in science exist even among experts.
Alongside this, the book carefully explains the Christian understanding of truth, creation, and revelation, showing that Scripture speaks with authority and coherence. Young people are encouraged to see that trusting the Bible is not an escape from reason, but a commitment to truth grounded in God Himself.
A calm and confidence-building approach
Many resources on this topic are driven by fear or defensiveness. Science / Faith or Both? takes a different path. The tone is calm, measured, and reassuring. It aims to strengthen confidence rather than provoke anxiety, helping young people feel secure enough to ask questions without fearing where those questions might lead.
By the end of the book, readers are not simply told what to think, but are better equipped to recognise faulty reasoning, challenge assumptions, and hold their faith with quiet conviction.
Designed for teaching and group use
This book is particularly suited for use in group settings. Chapters are structured to encourage discussion and reflection, making it useful for youth groups, classroom teaching, and family study.
To support wider access, the book is designed with affordability and distribution in mind. Once a print copy has been purchased, the accompanying eBook may be shared freely within teaching and group contexts, enabling leaders to equip many young people without creating unnecessary financial barriers.
Helping the next generation stand firm
In a culture that often portrays Christian faith as fragile or anti-intellectual, young believers need thoughtful, biblical guidance. Science / Faith or Both? seeks to provide that foundation, helping young people stand firm in truth while engaging the world around them with clarity, humility, and confidence in God.
This book is not about winning arguments, but about forming resilient faith.
