Religion on the Mind

Many Christians are erroneously taught that either 1) Darwinian Evolution is true or 2) the Bible / the Gospel is true, but not both. In fact, thousands of respected scientists are committed Christians, and thousands more are leaving their churches due to perceived conflicts between science and Christianity, especially in Evangelical Protestant circles. In this episode, we hear from Amy, an Evangelical who is skeptical of some aspects of Darwinian theory, and we hear Adrian Wyard's story, how he went from devout young-earth creationist evangelist to accepting theistic evolution (and a whole lot of evidence and arguments along the way).Biologos.orgCounterbalance.orgThe Language of God: https://www.amazon.com/Language-God-Scientist-Presents-Evidence/dp/1416542744/ref=asc_df_1416542744/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312115051380&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14652014232710692716&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033333&hvtargid=pla-433853721827&psc=1Finding Darwin's God: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Darwins-God-Scientists-Evolution/dp/0061233501/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1547254356&sr=1-2&keywords=finding+darwin%27s+godBARNA research: https://www.barna.com/research/six-reasons-young-christians-leave-church/Join the Patreon for bonus episodes every month: patreon.com/dankochWebsite: youhavepermissionpod.comJoin Dan's email list: dankochwords.comEdited by Scott Cangemi and Dan KochArtwork by sprungle.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Many great evangelists, theologians, and Christian thinkers over the millennia have believed that God will save many people who do not confess Christ while they are alive, including Billy Graham, C.S. Lewis, D. L. Moody, Athanasius, Thomas Aquinas, and many more. You don't HAVE to believe that God will save non-Christians in the end, but you certainly have permission to believe it; in fact, you'd be in good company. Guests: C.S. Lewis scholar Michael Ward, theologian and minister Rick Steele (Seattle Pacific Seminary).Michael's book: https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Narnia-Seven-Heavens-Imagination/dp/019973870XRick's Faculty page: https://spu.edu/academics/seattle-pacific-seminary/seminary-faculty/steele-richard"Prayer: A History": https://www.amazon.com/Prayer-History-Carol-Zaleski/dp/0618773606Join the Patreon for bonus episodes every month: http://patreon.com/dankochWebsite: http://youhavepermissionpod.comJoin Dan's email list: http://dankochwords.comArtwork by sprungle.co Hosted on Acast.
