What if belief in God isn’t opposed to reason, but demanded by it?

Olivier Bonnassies, co-author of God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution, was once convinced that Christianity was irrational and that science explained everything, but he began to question his assumptions about reality, truth, and the origins of the universe. Through years of study in both science and theology, Olivier discovered that the evidence, from cosmology, philosophy, morality, and even history, points unmistakably toward a transcendent Creator. 

Together, Jana and Olivier explore:

  • How growing up in secular France shaped his skepticism
  • The role of scientific discovery in revealing purpose and design
  • Why the Big Bang, fine-tuning, and morality point beyond materialism
  • How evidence led to faith, and ultimately, to joy and transformation

Guest Bio:

Olivier Bonnassies is a French engineer, entrepreneur, and author with a background in both science and theology. Educated at the prestigious École Polytechnique in Paris, he spent years building successful companies before turning his attention to life’s deepest questions. Once an agnostic, convinced that belief in God was irrational, Olivier embarked on a personal investigation that led him to faith in Christ. He is co-author, with Michel-Yves Bolloré, of God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution, a bestselling book in Europe (over 400,000 copies sold) now launching in the U.S. Through his research and writing, Olivier argues that the convergence of science, philosophy, and history reveals a compelling case for God’s existence.
