Send us a textDr. Dru Johnson, author of What Hath Darwin To Do With Scripture? challenges our understanding of creation, evolution, and faith through an intellectually curious exploration of Darwin's observations and biblical narratives. This conversation bridges seemingly opposing worldviews by examining how Genesis might be the most Darwinian text of the ancient world.• Creation stories in Genesis focus on habitats and inhabitants with concern for proper fit to the environment.• Biblical authors call us beyond simplistic views of creation to understand our moral connection to the land.• Darwin's observations about natural selection aren't inherently incompatible with biblical thinking.• The Bible doesn't claim "as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be" but rather envisions a future reorientation of creation.• Procreation in Scripture isn't just about making babies but about great-great-grandchildren we'll never meet.• Parents and grandparents should create "fields with clear fences" where children can explore ideas freely, rather than following intellectual ruts.• Christians are called to "do the work" of understanding for themselves rather than uncritically accepting what others say.Get to know Dr. Dru Johnson: Meet Dr. DruIntellectually and Spiritually Curious?
