4 Moves to Solve Disagreements Between Science and the Bible
Manage episode 414577653 series 3419917
Description:
Join me on this episode as I introduce a new approach to addressing disagreements between biblical teaching and modern science. I've developed a four-step process aimed at fostering a faithful exploration of these issues. First, we examine our philosophical pre-commitments. Then, we ensure an accurate understanding of the biblical text. Next, we consider if there's a direct ancient world referent or if the phenomenon could affect today's world. Finally, we assess if a creationist model explains the phenomenon effectively. By following this method, we can navigate these complex topics with clarity and integrity. Tune in to explore how this approach can guide your understanding of science and Scripture.
