Does Believing In God Mean Rejecting Science?

Published August 26th, 2026

Steph Bevan is a scientist whose work sits at the intersection of astronomy, cosmology, and Christian faith. Steph joins LifeFM's ArvoBravo to unpack one of the questions Christians ask most about the universe: does discovering more about it threaten what we believe about God?
In this conversation, Steph and hosts Rachel and Baty talk about why the universe's scale points to abundance rather than absence, and whether finding life on another planet would break Christian faith. It's science and scripture in the same breath - no false conflict, just curiosity.
