Help! Science is pushing me toward atheism. How can I still be a Christian?

Q: Help! Questions of science and evolution are pushing me to the brink of atheism. How can I be a Christian and make sense of modern questions that defy God’s existence? 

Jesus taught us to love God with our minds, so intellectual inquiry is a necessary part of our Christian life. 

Sometimes the family or church we grew up in may have included teaching on all sorts of things – like creation and evolution – which it is helpful to revisit later in life. The trick is to discover which things are non-negotiable and which things aren’t.
