Science 101

Tom Sheahen

Dynamic speaker covering faith and science. PhD physicist and practicing Christian with original insights about creation, evolution and time.

I'm a physicist whose career focused on energy sciences, including superconductivity. I am also a lifelong Catholic who finds no conflict between science and religion. That's why I wrote "Everywhen: God, Symmetry, and Time." My book explains how science and religion are compatible, and encourages readers to expand their ways of thinking about God, to gain greater confidence in their own faith.

If your listeners are worried about science challenging their religious faith, my message will be reassuring.
