Naturalism of the Gaps

Stand to Reason Weekly Podcast

Greg talks to callers about the rebellion of angels in Genesis 6, how to respond to a naturalism-of-the-gaps argument, how to use Shedd’s Dogmatics, whether an abandoned spouse can remarry, and whether human beings are responsible for the salvation of others. Topics:

1. What is your view on the rebellion of the angels referred to in Genesis 6, Jude, and 2 Peter? (01:00)
2. What would you say to someone who responded to an argument for intelligent design by saying, “We just need to wait for science to give us the answer”? (11:00)
3. I purchased Shedd’s Dogmatics. Can you tell me how to use it? (29:00)
4. My husband left me. Does that mean I can never get remarried? (38:00)
5. Am I right in challenging the idea that God would give human beings the responsibility for other people’s salvation? (50:00)
