Science and Religion

• Evolution's Achilles' Heel
  Dr. R. Scott Smith
  
  $1.99

  Are there unavoidably negative ends for the Darwinian, evolutionary narrative? Smith explores the necessary implications of a materialistic worldview and suggests that the future does not look very bright for those who hold to this perspective. He shows how positing a strictly materialistic world removes any possibility of essences or enduring principles which challenges the very foundation of knowledge itself.

• Evidence for God: A Fine-Tuned Universe
  Dr. John A. Bloom
  
  $1.99

  Has science proved that God doesn't exist? Bloom investigates this question and concludes quite the opposite. Rather than physics denying the existence of God it clearly suggests that there was a personal creator of the universe. Bloom seeks to highlight the "convenient" realities in physics that allow for the universe to actually exist.

• Religion & Science: Where the Conflict Really Lies
  Dr. Alvin Plantinga
  
  $1.99

  This talk argues (1) that contemporary evolutionary theory is not incompatible with theistic belief, (2) that the main antitheistic arguments involving evolution together with other premises also fail, and (3) that naturalism, the thought that there is no such thing as the God of theistic religion or anything like him, is an essential element in the naturalistic worldview (a sort of quasi-religion in the sense that it plays some of the most important roles of religion) and that the naturalistic worldview is in fact incompatible with evolution. Hence there is a science/religion (or science/quasi-religion) conflict, all right, but it is a conflict between naturalism and science, not theistic religion and science.

• Reason Cannot be Located in a Materialist World
  Dr. Angus Menuge
  
  $1.99

  Any satisfactory account of human beings must locate human reasoning, by showing how it arises from the accounts underlying ontology (its theory of what exists). For materialism to be successful, human reasoning must be located in a world consisting of particles and undirected forces. The so-called "argument from reason" is a family of arguments designed to show that materialism cannot satisfy this demand. Most fundamentally, materialism fails because rational deliberation presupposes the existence of persistent, unified selves with libertarian free will. This requires an ontology of substantial agent causes, characterized by active power, teleology and downward causation, none of which can plausibly be located in a materialist world. Reason itself also has a number of characteristics (including intentionality, teleology, normativity and prescriptivity) that do not reduce to materialist categories. Finally, materialist attempts to explain human reasoning by appeal to Darwinian evolution imply that our reason cannot be trusted, especially in science and philosophy. Moreover, while not the only alternative to materialism, Judeo-Christian Theism is well-equipped to locate human reasoning because the ontology of human reasoning is exemplified by God, and therefore implausible materialist reductions of this ontology are not required. The argument from reason can be developed into a defense of scripture’s claim that human beings are made in the image of God.

• Just the Facts, Please: Setting the Record Straight on Stem Cell Research.
  Dr. Steve Lemke
  
  $1.99

  Stem cell research is much debated in the news but seldom correctly understood. In this penetrating analysis of the ethical issues involved in stem cell research, Steve Lemke clarifies misconceptions and provides a Christian perspective on the issue.

• Is Belief in God a Trick of Our Brains?
  Dr. Michael J. Murray
  
  $1.99

• Darwin & Design
  Dr. John A. Bloom
  
  $1.99

  Darwinian evolution has been thoroughly discredited by the important contributions of intelligent design theorists. Be on the cutting-edge of this discussion by listening to Bloom's expertise overview of the matter.

• Science, God, and the Cosmos: Prospects for the Cosmological and Teleological Arguments
