Unique Ways for Engineers to Bring Healing

Walter Bradley (Baylor University)

Three unique ways that engineers who are Christians can advance God’s Kingdom will be explored. First, engineers are uniquely equipped to understand, share and explain the compelling evidence that the universe is designed, implying the existence of an intelligent creator to non-Christian scientists and engineers who think that science and faith are incompatible, and therefore, necessarily hostile. Second, engineers are also well equipped to help Christians within the church to understand the ways that faith and science can be, not just reconciled, but synergistic, affirming that God’s revelation in His book and His revelation in His world can be harmonized. Finally, engineers are uniquely equipped to be responsive to the first commandment, to go out and subdue the earth, especially in parts of the world where this project is still far from complete, making life extraordinarily difficult.
