Dr. Swamidass is a national voice in the dialogue between science and the Christian faith, where he explains how mainstream science (including evolution) can be understood within the context of historic Christian faith. Most recently, he proposed a genealogical Adam model that recovers most orthodox doctrines in an evolutionary context. He has served for two years as a science advisor for the AAAS Science for Seminaries Program with Concordia Seminary, a bridge building effort between the scientific community and the religious community. From 2016-2018, he directed a collaboration of St. Louis Ministries called the Inquiry into Common Ground. Dr. Swamidass also speaks nationally with The Veritas Forum and InterVarsity on a wide range of topics. He blogs at Peaceful Science.
