Summary: David Wood: Insight into the intricate make up of a human being that science provides does not discredit, diminish or make obsolete the ancient story that we are created in the image and likeness of God. That story predates the rise of science. To be sure, it is a story that is updated and enriched by science. Peter Wallace: That's the Rev. David Wood...and today he 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 fascinating 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 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. Through this series we're exploring some of the major issues of science today with a goal to facilitate meaningful conversation around these issues particularly 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. David Wood, senior minister of Glencoe Union Church in Glencoe, IL. An ordained American Baptist pastor, David has for the past 25 years served churches in Paris France, Kentucky, Maine, and Connecticut. He studied theology and ministry at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and Yale Divinity School. David has also served as a consultant to the John Templeton Foundation. David, welcome, and thanks for being part of this series.
