If the sun didn’t power the photosynthesis of green plants, we wouldn’t be breathing right now. And without the finely tuned properties of water, Earth would be a frozen, lifeless wasteland. Coincidence? Or is something else at work? On this classic episode of ID The Future out of the archive, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his ongoing series with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie unpacking the many features of our planet and the cosmos that allow for advanced life like ours to exist. Here, the discussion turns to the life-friendly properties of sunlight and water.

Science Suggests Matter and Meaning Are Both Real

What is the story of everything? Is there a scientific and philosophical basis for meaning? Today on ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues exploring those questions with physicist and author Dr. Eric Hedin. In Part 2, the conversation turns to the scientific and philosophical basis for meaning in the universe. Dr. Hedin argues that materialism “fails to describe the world we experience.” He explores the problem with reducing life and the universe to their lowest terms. Sure, we boil down to matter in motion at the microscopic level, but we also live a life full of meaning at the macroscopic level. To acknowledge one and not the other, or to say that the one causes an illusion of the other, doesn’t match up with what science is telling us, says Hedin.

You are warmly invited to an evening lecture and discussion on “Science & Faith: Friends or Foes?” The event will explore the relationship between Christian faith and natural science. Dr. Casey Luskin (a scientist) and Dr. Steve Dilley (a philosopher) will present complementary views on the topic. Dr. Dilley will survey four different models about how science and faith are said to relate to each other. Dr. Luskin will then provide an in-depth examination of scientific evidence that supports belief in a Creator. Together, they will illuminate why and how science and faith are friends, rather than foes. The event is co-sponsored by Open Door Ministry Presbyterian Church (Mount Prospect, IL) and Discovery Institute (Seattle, WA). No …
