Leading Motive

Content
On our journey, we explore the wonders of God's creation as the sciences describe it, from the farthest reaches of galactic horizons to the interior depths of living cells and, deeper still, into the mysterious realm of quantum oneness. This site offers articles and blog posts in response to challenges and opportunities the Age of Science presents for Christian thought.
