The Christian Church attempted to hold back the flood-gates of scientific advancement during its early stages thereby leaving the scientific community with a deep and lingering suspicion of religion. For their part, some prominent scientists continue to attack cherished religious beliefs needlessly maintaining the caricature of the scientist as faith-wrecker. Pascal Centre research provides original knowledge that is delivered to the Christian and secular educational systems at the graduate level, the undergraduate level, and to school-aged young people. It is, therefore, a crucial link in the education chain that influences all participants. Channeling research into education allows us to answer questions of those who do not have the time and expertise to research them, but who do want to answer their non-Christian friends and colleagues as well as their students, teachers, and the educated public.
People receive our work in popular form which is derived from advanced knowledge.
Most readers do not care for technical details, but they must be available to establish the credibility of popular knowledge. Credibility is fundamental if Christians are to honour their Creator. This is why the Centre takes research seriously. The Centre will produce knowledge if necessary, test it in professional publications and then deliver it in popular form. The Centre explores the relations between faith and science by means of conferences, seminars, research, and a computerized bibliographic database.
