"Studying chemistry at Taylor gave me a unique perspective on approaches to science from a Christian viewpoint. At secular institutions, science is taught with the assumption that there was no designer putting our world together. Professors at Taylor have the opportunity to teach from the perspective that someone was responsible for designing the principles which govern science. This adds a whole new level of understanding to chemistry. Plus, I feel like I have been given a new framework which will help me interpret future knowledge. The experiences I had as a chemistry major at Taylor shaped who I am, not only as a scientist, but also as a Christian in a scientific field." - Elizabeth Ray, 2003; Ph.D. program at Rice University
