Plasma physicist Ian Hutchinson has been asked hundreds of questions about faith and science:


What is faith and what is science? Are they compatible?
Are there realities science cannot explain?
Is God's existence a scientific question?
Is the Bible consistent with the modern scientific understanding of the universe?
Are there scientific reasons to believe in God?


In this comprehensive volume, Hutchinson answers a full range of inquiries with sound scientific insights and measured Christian perspective. Without minimizing challenging questions, he explores how science and Christianity are mutually supportive and intellectually consistent.
Both God and science truthfully address our curiosity and destiny. Find answers to your deepest questions.

Ian Hutchinson is a plasma physicist and professor of nuclear science and engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was born in England, educated at Cambridge University, and received his doctorate from Australian National University. His research group explores the confinement of plasmas hotter than the sun's center, aimed at producing practical energy from nuclear fusion reactions, the energy source of the stars. A frequent Veritas Forum presenter, Ian has written and spoken widely on the relationship between science and Christianity. He is the author of over two hundred research articles, and his books include Principles of Plasma Diagnostics and Monopolizing Knowledge.
