S1E4: God, Science, the Universe, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Description
If science can explain how the universe began and evolves through the Laws of Nature, does that make the idea of a Creator about as superfluous as the Flying Spaghetti Monster? That depends on what we mean by God. How Christians understand what it means to say, "God created the world," is very diverse and complex. But, what is core to all their understanding is an idea found in the Gospel of John--an idea that is also core to philosophy and foundational to science--that there is a rational principle that underlie everything that happens and how everything comes to be. What does this mean for science and Christianity?
