Faithful Politics The Science of Creationism w/David Rives
On this episode, Will and Josh venture into the intriguing world of creation science with special guest David Rives. As a dynamic speaker, author, and host of "Creation in the 21st Century" on TBN, David brings a unique perspective to the intersection of science, faith, and the Bible. Advocating for a young Earth creationist viewpoint, he challenges mainstream scientific perspectives with a blend of biblical interpretation and observational science.
David shares his journey from a passionate astronomer to a prominent figure in the creation science community. He discusses the impact of astrophotography on his faith, his findings on the design and complexity of the universe, and how these reinforce his belief in a divine Creator. From founding a nonprofit at 18 to opening the largest science museum in Tennessee from a Christian perspective, David's work bridges the gap between faith and science, offering compelling evidence for creationism.
We also delve into hot topics such as the age of the Earth, the existence of dinosaurs, and the validity of carbon dating. David addresses common misconceptions and provides insightful explanations that challenge conventional scientific beliefs. The episode touches on the implications of creationism on personal faith and the broader societal context, highlighting the importance of questioning and seeking truth in both science and religion.
