Episode notes

JP Morlin and Christianity and the natural science pages 108 to 133 lists some of the important assumptions that are borrowed from the Christian worldview for scientific investigation to be possible. The uniformity of nature is one induction, mathematical realism, methodological epistemic and ethical values,. reliability of the human mind and sensory faculties., ontological and conceptual categories. And these are all found in a theistic worldview.

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.
