Why Do Brilliant Thinkers Reject Clear Evidence of Design?
Description
Why is the human mind so remarkably equipped to understand the laws of nature? Modern science rests upon a profound presupposition that we often take for granted: that the physical universe is orderly, rational, and completely intelligible to human reason.
In this lecture presentation under the Discovery Science umbrella, Professor Vern Poythress of Westminster Theological Seminary explores the historical, philosophical, and biblical worldview concepts that undergird modern scientific inquiry. Drawing from the book of Romans and Genesis, Dr. Poythress examines the concept of the "image of God" as the foundation for unique human dignity and dominion, explaining why human intellect is uniquely calibrated to comprehend the cosmos. He also addresses the modern phenomenon of truth suppression, referencing honest admissions from secular philosophers like Thomas Nagel regarding personal and ideological resistance to the concept of a purposeful universe.
