Howard J. Van Till is Professor Emeritus of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. After graduating from Calvin College in 1960, he earned his Ph.D. in physics from Michigan State University in 1965. Dr. Van Till's research experience includes both solid state physics and millimeter-wave astronomy. During the past two decades he has devoted a considerable portion of his writing and speaking efforts to topics regarding the relationship of science and religion. Having concluded that the usual creation/evolution debate is the product of serious misunderstandings, Van Till's goal is to encourage a non-adversarial and mutually-informative engagement of Christian theology and the natural sciences. He is the author of numerous books, book chapters, and essays on this theme and has spoken at many universities and colleges. He is a Founding Member of the International Society for Science and Religion, has served on the Executive Council of the American Scientific Affiliation, and is a member of the Editorial Board of Science and Christian Belief.
