Abstract
An old school friend recently invited me to his Baptist church to speak about science and the Bible. Courageously, he gave me the freedom to speak openly as an orthodox Christian who accepts the big bang. Despite the chilly temperature on that Wednesday evening and the announcement that there would be a science lecture (yawn), the young people came. They gave me a warm reception and their full attention as I launched into my talk, "How I Came to Love the Big Bang."
