In this episode of Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Hans Madueme explore how Christian theology, particularly the belief in a good creation, underpins the rise of science, contrasting it with Gnostic and Manichaean views. Madueme also delves into his book Defending Sin, discussing the theological challenges posed by modern science to doctrines like original sin, the historical Adam, and the importance of maintaining a coherent approach to Scripture in both creation and eschatology.
They discuss:
- Theological implications of scientific challenges
- Galileo and the role of Scripture
- The provisional nature of science
- The conflict metaphor and historical scientists
- Methodological naturalism and its implications
- The historical Adam and theological implications
- Young earth creationism and its theological importance
- Trusting Scripture in protology and eschatology
