Episode notes

Bob Greene: We have a tendency to read all of it as fiat, let there be and there was. That's why we say we don't make a huge distinction between miracle and providence because both are God's activity in agency. He says that scripture itself distinguishes between God's fiat word and his productive, superintending word. The monkey evolved out of the fish; those are two entirely different ways of speaking of evolution.

What happens when our understanding of the Bible’s creation narrative contradicts current scientific theory? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller continue their discussion of faith and science by considering God’s two ways of speaking in creation: divine fiat and providence. As they consider the compatibility of various scientific views with the biblical account, they also outline what is essential for Christians to affirm when it comes to creation.
