Have you ever learned a new word and then started seeing it everywhere—on TV, in a book, in a friend’s conversation? It feels like the universe is sending a signal. What if that “signal” is exactly where faith and science meet? Faith’s Lens: The First Word that Shapes Reality Scripture opens with a decisive claim: “In the beginning, God…” (Genesis 1:1).
