<strong>Series:</strong> Maker of Heaven and Earth

Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth

In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the “wrong questions” about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.

Scientific Fundamentalism and its Cultural Impact

Scientific Fundamentalism and its Cultural Impact

Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.

Barriers to Accepting Creation by an Evolutionary Process: Concerns of the Evangelical Theologian

Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
