Hear the Animals Singing: The Bible and Genetics - Faith & Science Series Part 6

Summary:   Nancy Duff: Although there are significant exceptions, Christians have too often believed that because we are made in the image of God and have been given dominion over the earth, we stand far above the rest of the animals and can remain aloof regarding their welfare and indifferent to their suffering. But such a stance is not biblical...  Peter Wallace: That's the Rev. Dr. Nancy Duff, and today she joins us for our special series on "Faith & Science in the 21st Century." I'm Peter Wallace...this is Day 1. Sherrie Miller: Welcome to Day1, the weekly program that brings you outstanding preachers from America's mainline Protestant churches, sharing insight and inspiration from God's Word for your life. Today we continue our exciting series of special programs, and to introduce this week's preacher here's our host Peter Wallace. Peter Wallace: Thank you, Sherrie. Today we continue our special eight-part series of Day1 programs, "Faith & Science in the 21st Century," which is made possible through the support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Over these eight weeks we are exploring together some of the major issues of science today with a goal to facilitate meaningful conversation around these issues especially among people of faith. As we continue on our quest to engage the big questions that have riddled humanity since the dawn of civilization, we're delighted to have with us the Rev. Dr. Nancy J. Duff. Nancy is the Stephen Colwell Associate Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. She earned her Master of Divinity degree from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Virginia and her Ph.D. from Union Theological Seminary in New York. An ordained Presbyterian minister, she focuses her research on the theological foundations of Christian ethics. Nancy, thank you for joining us for this important series.
