"Darwin's Corrosive Idea" John West at Dallas Science Faith Conference 2020
Description
Many of us are locked up in our homes – solid intellectual and scientific content is just the thing to provide an alternative to what we see in the news at the moment. In the case of Darwin's idea of unguided evolution and of a planet of life formed from blind material processes alone, John West, Associate Director of the Center for Science & Culture, notes a range of consequences and impacts, on how we see the sanctity of human life, how we understand morality and spirituality, and much more. As Dr. West summarizes here, "Ideas really do have consequence."
The annual Dallas Conference on Science & Faith explores exciting scientific discoveries about the origin of the universe, the origin of life, and the development of biological complexity, as well as critiquing the scientific and cultural impact of Darwinism. It also deals directly with the intersection of science and religion and the role that faith plays in scientific research and study.
