Should we teach evolution in Adventist schools? Is it even possible to combine science and the Bible?

In this candid and thoughtful conversation, Dr. David Shin sits down with Dr Harris. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry and previously served as a senior scientist in the pharmaceutical industry, including work with Pfizer. A researcher and patent holder, she now serves as Chair of the Natural Science Department at Weimar University, where she teaches science from a biblical creationist perspective.

With experience in both high-level research and Christian education, Dr. Harris brings clarity, conviction, and scientific insight to the conversation on faith and origins.
