Episode notes
Creation Declares God's Glory
- Creation itself is a form of communication, declaring the glory of God beyond just physical matter.
- Moments witnessing nature's beauty or life can reveal a deeper spiritual connection and presence.
Secularism as a Materialist Faith
- Secularism is its own set of beliefs, not mere disbelief, grounded in materialism that "everything is matter."
- This worldview treats everything as controllable and maximizable, forming a modern dogma.
