4 - What is the mission of the conference?

Many, particularly youth, are leaving their faith in the mistaken belief science contradicts faith. Of God’s modes of chronological revelation, nature, tradition and scripture, few scientists and theologians are educated in nature. The interfaith mission is to teach those leaving their faith and the clergy, scientists and medical professionals serving them, that current faith and science are reinforcing each other.

5 - Do I have to be a scientist or theologian to understand the information?

No. The book on which the conference is framed was specifically written to be understood by non-scientists and non-theologians. The editor is neither. Her primary function was to ensure the explanations and descriptions were understandable. She said, “If I can understand the information, everyone can understand it.”
