Science Has Explained Away God
Descrição
Has science explained away God? This episode draws that objection at full strength, in physicist Sean Carroll's Core Theory argument, before saying a word against it.
Copernicus, Newton, and Georges Lemaître, the priest who proposed the Big Bang. Where the faith vs science war story came from (Draper, 1874). Who first warned Christians against a god of the gaps. Three questions every law of nature leaves open. Exactly where the evidence stops. Then the one thing that holds.
Episode 4 of The Twelve Objections. Next: The Bible contradicts itself.
QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS
Has science disproved God?
What is the god of the gaps argument?
What is Sean Carroll's Core Theory argument?

CHAPTERS
0:00 The objection: every gap God lived in has closed
1:18 Sean Carroll's Core Theory argument (The Big Picture, 2016)
2:33 Copernicus to Lemaître: where the war story came from
3:57 God of the gaps: Coulson 1955, Bonhoeffer, Psalm 19:1
5:05 Three questions the laws leave open: Wigner 1960, Leibniz 1714
6:25 Where the evidence stops
7:35 What holds: Colossians 1:17, not the gaps but the laws
8:45 Next: does the Bible contradict itself?
WHAT IS ON THE BOARD
THE OBJECTION: three shrinking circles (thunder, sickness, life), the four lines, the padlock
THE EVIDENCE: 1543, 1687, 1874, 1927, 2009; a hole is not an explanation; Coulson 1955; Psalm 19:1; why laws, why math, why tomorrow
THE GAP: science cannot see him; a lawgiver is an argument, not a reading; the gaps did close
WHAT HOLDS: Jeremiah 33:25, Colossians 1:17; not the gaps, the laws
