According to a 2015 Pew Research study, 59 percent of Americans believe that science and religion are often in conflict. This perceived tension between the two can be especially challenging for students in fields such as biology, who may encounter scientific theories that seem to contradict their faith. As a biology professor at Brigham Young University, Jamie Jensen has seen firsthand how science can either deepen or diminish students\\u2019 spirituality. In this week\\u2019s episode, she shares strategies for helping students approach science in a way that enhances their understanding of God\\u2019s wonders, rather than detracting from it.

\\u201cWhen you\\u2019re building a testimony and you\\u2019re gathering spiritual evidence, that evidence is still real, it\\u2019s still measurable, but the instrumentation we use is different. So instead of using thermometers, or rulers or calipers, we\\u2019re using our spiritual eyes, personal revelation, feelings that are inside, and it\\u2019s just as real, but it\\u2019s not as tangible.\\u201d \\u2014Jamie Jensen
