Jeff Zweerink is a scientist (Astrophysicist) and Christian apologist working at Reasons to Believe (RTB) ministry. He says his involvement in science apologetics grows from an enthusiasm for helping others bridge the perceived science-faith gap. As research scholar and executive director of online learning at Reasons to Believe (RTB), Jeff focuses on encouraging people of all backgrounds to consider the truth of Scripture and how it connects with the evidence of science.
A Christian from childhood, Jeff struggled to reconcile his love of science and his desire to serve God. While an undergrad at Iowa State University, he heard astronomer and RTB founder Hugh Ross speak on the constructive integration of science and faith. Hugh's old-earth perspective introduced Jeff to a creation view that aligns with both Scripture and science. Ten years later, a professor encouraged Jeff to enroll in RTB's volunteer apologetics program. This involvement, coupled with Jeff's desire to serve God through direct ministry, led to a scholar position in 2005.
Today, Jeff writes and speaks on the compatibility of faith and science and on evidence for intentional design from a multiverse theory, dark energy and dark matter, and exoplanets. His speaking engagements take him to universities, churches, and other venues around the world, including high schools and youth groups. Jeff also serves as executive director of Reasons Institute and Reasons Academy (RTB's accredited online learning programs) and hosts the RTB website's video interviews.He is the author of the book Who's Afraid of the Multiverse? and coauthor RTB's Impact Events student devotional series.
Prior to joining RTB, Jeff spent much time working on the STACEE and VERITAS gamma-ray telescopes and was involved in research projects such as the Solar Two Project and the Whipple Collaboration. He still holds a part-time position at UCLA and is working on GAPS, a balloon experiment seeking to detect dark matter. Jeff is coauthor on more than 30 papers published in peer-reviewed journals, such as Astrophysical Journal, and Astroparticle Physics, and Astrobiology, as well as numerous conference proceedings.
