NASA Astronaut Jeffrey Williams Highlights the Intersection of Science and the Bible

A NASA astronaut who formerly held the American record for cumulative days in space says he believes science and the Bible are in harmony, not conflict.

Astronaut Jeffrey Williams took part in four space missions from 2000 to 2016, first on the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the next three aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station. His 534 cumulative days in space ranks second all-time among Americans and formerly ranked first before being broken by fellow astronaut Peggy Whitson.

In late January, Williams spoke at the opening of a new exhibit at the Museum of the Bible, "Scripture and Science: Our Universe, Ourselves, Our Place." The exhibit – which ran through January 2024 – explored the relationship between science and religion. The Museum of the Bible is located in Washington, D.C.
