When considering how science and the Bible integrate, we face the risk of reading scientific concepts into the text. Biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Christian apologist Steve Anonsen discuss how critics who read ancient, incorrect scientific views into the Bible are actually reading bad science into the Bible. This episode discusses the fun exercise of how to interpret the Bible well.
Join astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink and ophthalmologist Andy Moyes as they discuss discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.
For decades, the human eye has been at the center of the creation/evolution debate. Even Charles Darwin recognized its apparent design despite arguing that evolution produced this vital sensory organ. Ophthalmologist And...
Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Hugh Ross as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.
Young-earth creationists claim that humans and dinosaurs coexisted. One key line of evidence they cite in support of this claim concerns the depictions of “dinosaurs” in art made by humans before paleontologists discov...
Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence.
Many anthropologists believe that the earliest modern humans’ production and interaction with cave art was a deeply spiritual experience. Interestingly, anthropologists often find chil...
