Science and Society haven't always had the most peaceful co–existance; so where do we, as Christians, fit into the equation? Can you be a man of faith and of science? I've had a hunt around the internet and dug up a couple of sites to arm yourself with for the next time that you get the question "surely science has disproved God?!" Don't panic, breath deep, and remember that these arguments have been going on for centuries… at least now we have the 'net to share the best answers to them.

First up is UCCF's (Univeristies and Colleges Christian Fellowship) apologetics website: bethinking.org: with a tagline of "Engage with Culture". It's got to be one of the better places to start. I jumped straight into the "Science & Christianity Section" and was rewarded with a nice collection of articles covering a wide range of topics. They are split up into 'Introductory', 'Intermediate' and 'Advanced' levels, so you can choose an article without fear of being flooded with concepts beyond what you're ready for. The site is heavily aimed towards students, though not too much – the articles aren't overly basic. A brilliant source for covering the most common topics.

Counterbalance.org is heavily filled with videos. Here you can view a lecture or discussion on a huge variety of topics, ranging from evolution to "Does God Act?". The site itself is full of many sub–sites that concentrate on the larger issues covered, which allows you to study a topic in more depth. Each article has a list of related topics next to it, letting you research around the site really easily. Again, a great resource – not entirely from a Christian perspective, yet giving useful intelligent views.

The last on the list is the The American Scientific Affiliation. This site again looks at a variety of topics, but this time all from a Christian viewpoint. The first section I checked out was the youth pages – these are good, but aimed at school kids instead of uni students, so while fun to peruse, no major points picked up there. Back to the main site there is the 'Learn more' section that for the given topic holds pages of links to different sites mixed in with dodgy clipart images. Finding actual articles isn't easiest on this site, but if you go to the 'Home' menu, then 'Resources', you will be taken to a page of topics, each of these leading you to a page full of links to documents. The actual articles are well laid out, up to date and well informed. So stick through the bad layout and clipart overkill and you'll get yourself some decent resources in there.
