Was Jesus born without original sin? If not, how could he overcome this impossible hurdle while we, even when we are born again in him, can't? And if he was born without original sin, he was not truly human in every way. -

Quite often, questions about Modern Science and Biblical Faith, Modern Science and Miracles and The Virgin Birth of Jesus are raised by those who have questions about Christianity. One of our church members, Dr David Hum, is well placed to consider these issues. For many years David was a Mathematics Physicist at Imperial College in London. David also spent 12 years working overseas where he was actively involved in the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) - His faith has been tested in some challenging situations. Along with many of his scientific colleagues, David sees no contradiction between his faith and science.
