Details

Life, the Universe & Everything is a three-week series tackling some tough questions. The church has not had a great history with the issue of faith and science, and one reason young people give for leaving the faith. Using some of the latest research and quotes from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who, this series attempts to give students a new framework for reconciling faith and science while exploring the core message of Scripture.

This series draws from current research and biblical experts for guidance. It is not a series that advocates one approach to interpretation (e.g., young earth, old earth, etc.); rather, it challenges listeners to a different path, one in which we can have unity in faith while having different approaches to questions regarding science.

Week 1: The Ultimate Question
“The Ultimate Question” challenges students to consider whether we are asking the right questions of Scripture when we address the topic of faith and science. This message also addresses the core purpose of Scripture: to guide us to God.

Week 2: Don't Panic!
“Don’t Panic” takes a deep look at Genesis one, three different theories of origin, and how Christians can approach Genesis one in a way that honors God.

Week 3: Mostly Harmless
“Mostly Harmless” explores Genesis two, the creation of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, and what Scripture teaches us about the nature of humanity and its origins.

The resource includes a bumper video that can be used in person, online, and on social media, as well as a five-minute countdown video that fits the theme of the series.
