Reformed Audio Presents: Benjamin (Benji) Richards
"For far too long, debates in the field of science and the Christian faith have been dominated by Darwinism and the age of the earth. These are details. What absolutely must be settled first is of much more fundamental significance: science itself, as an intellectual discipline. Science is a branch of human knowledge, and as such is deeply implicated in philosophical questions, which are themselves deeply implicated in theological questions about the nature of and relationships between human beings, physical reality, and God. A careful look at the foundations of science will reveal that it is impossible to make sense of science except on the basis of a Christian theistic worldview. We do not mean that non-Christians cannot do science and be very successful at it. We are simply claiming that their worldview does not provide the intellectual resources to make science intelligible." - Benjamin C. Richards
