Description
Welcome to Faith Science, a podcast where faith and science intersect in fascinating conversations. Join us as we talk with guests about how their pursuit of knowledge and understanding has affected their faith in God. In a world where atheism often claims science as its own, we present a different narrative: the pursuit of knowledge in science can coexist with and even strengthen belief in the Divine. Faith Science offers a unique perspective with inspiring stories, thoughtful reflections, and a celebration of the harmony between belief and empirical discovery.

Jerry read several quotes from Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man to demonstrate several of Darwin's beliefs: that white people were superior to others, that more civilized (i.e., evolved) people would eventually exterminate the less civilized humans, and that compassion in humanity (in the form of asylums, laws to help the poor, vaccinations, and hospitals) resulted in a weaker human race. He then showed the logical connection between Darwin's macroevolutionary hypothesis and false ideas su...
Jerry discussed the term "Genesis creationist" (similar to Young Earth creationist", coined by Philip Kitcher, in his book Living with Darwin. He also showed the parallels between Kitcher's terms "novelty creationist" and "anti-selectionist" and the more popular "Old Earth creationist" and "theistic evolutionist".

Jerry discussed how Dr. Jason Lisle's creation-based predictions (of what the James Webb Space Telescope would find) were verified, while the secular, Big Bang-based predictions were not. This video was partly inspired by a recent Answers in Genesis video of a lecture by Dr. Jason Lisle. The link to that video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ3ktKR8KZw Jerry also mentioned two articles from Dr. Lisle, which can be found using the links below. 1. The James Webb Spac...
Jerry discussed how the pseudoscientific mythology of dinosaurs (including the notion that humans never encountered dinosaurs) is directly connected to how many people begin to doubt the Bible and Christianity. He also showed that atheists generally explain away the evidence of humans and dinosaurs coexisting in weird ways, such as Carl Sagan's proposition that indigenous people made up their depictions of dragons (dinosaurs) based on bones they found. This video was partly inspired by a rece...
Jerry discussed four popular myths about the so-called war between science and Christianity, as presented by science historian Dr. Michael Keas in his paper, "Evaluating Warfare Myths about Science and Christianity and How These Myths Promote Scientism". Dr. Keas was also interviewed about these myths by Dr. Casey Luskin, in a podcast which is accessible here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-MVupbTpqo Subscribe on Substack to get weekly email updates from Jerry: https://jerrysweafford...
Jerry reviewed an interview of Dr. Stephen Meyer and Dr. James Tour by Peter Robinson of Uncommon Knowledge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCBHNDTEgWk In the interview, they had a conversation about how little evidence there is for chemical or biological evolution, and that the existence of information in DNA and the cell points to an intelligent Designer of life.

Jerry recounted the history of the podcast so far, showing that it started as an interview-only program, pivoted to some solo episodes, and now is only solo episodes. It also began with wide-ranging conversations with people of faith, pivoted to general apologetics topics, and now focuses mostly on the evolution vs. intelligent design debate and the related question of the existence of God. He also introduced several books that he plans to review in upcoming episodes. Subscribe on Subst...
Jerry introduces an acronym LORD, which stands for four aspects of God's role in the creation and maintenance of the universe and earth: Lawgiver, Operator, Ruler, Designer. He makes the case that the Biblical worldview with a wise, powerful Creator is a more plausible conclusion from the facts and laws of science than the BAE system (Big Bang, Abiogenesis, Evolution).

Evolution is often claimed to be science—but is it really just well-polished science fiction? In this episode, Jerry explores how concepts from the Marvel Universe—magic, multiverses, and mutants—mirror the kinds of assumptions evolution often makes. He reveals the fantasy behind modern evolutionary thinking—and why an old idea (intelligent design) still makes the most sense.

Jerry explains how the common objection of the "God of the gaps" applies equally to those on the atheistic end of the spectrum. Often, atheistic mythologies are allowed, accepted, or recommended, even when they are anti-scientific, simply because they do not require a God. He shows how the Big Bang hypothesis, abiogenesis and evolution are three of the most popular atheistic "gods of the gaps".

The Bible teaches that God made humankind in the image of God, but what does that mean? Jerry discusses this idea and the effects of it on an individual's morality and behavior. He also answers the question of whether atheists (who don't believe in God) are made in the image of God.

Jerry gives a summary of Dr. James Tour's recent interview of Dr. Rob Stadler. Dr. Stadler has written a book called The Scientific Approach to Evolution, in which he questioned the confidence level of the evidence for evolution and showed that science's high-confidence evidence does not point to the macroevolutionary hypothesis. The video is called Evolution vs. Evidence: Are We Really 98% Chimp? Here's the link: https://youtu.be/smTbYKJcnj8?si=1yjHjIUeEJ-H8qDQ Subscribe on Subst...
One of the most controversial teachings of the so-called "Jehovah's Witnesses" is that Jesus Christ is not (and never claimed to be) God. Of course, that isn't true, but how do you talk to a Witness about that topic? Jerry reviews a recent conversation with a Witness and shows how to defend the truth about the Deity of Christ from Scripture.

1 Samuel 15 is an Old Testament account in which God commanded King Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites. Jerry explores the question: was this an immoral command from God or a righteous judgment of a sinful nation?
