Listen "Darwinism: Science or Scientism?"

Episode Synopsis

Darwin’s theory of evolution has essentially become the “creation” story of our postmodern, secular culture. It is taught as a scientifically proven fact in public schools, universities, and in the media. This poses a challenge to Christians because Darwin’s theory stands in direct conflict with the biblical creation account. How should we as Christians respond to this challenge? Many seem ready to accept Darwinian evolution as a proven fact while attempting to reconcile it with biblical revelation. This is the approach of “Theistic Evolution,” and the influential BioLogos project. But is Darwinian evolution a scientifically proven fact? Much of it depends on how you define science, and on the crucial distinction between science and scientism. Faithful Christians should support science but reject scientism.
