  • Summary

  • Early in the 17th century, there was an intense conflict between the Catholic Church, which was teaching a geocentric model of the universe, and Galileo Galilei, who was espousing a heliocentric model. This conflict caused theologians worldwide to re-examine the Scriptures and realize that a geocentric view of the universe really wasn't taught by God's word (in fact, they had inherited that view from Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher). To what degree is that dialog between science and Scripture allowed?

    To answer that question, we first need to understand what science really is and how it works. Welcome to this week's episode on the philosophical underpinnings and inherent limitations of modern science. This is what you get when you tune into a theology podcast taught by an astrophysics PhD...

    Oh, and we do a short overview of Canaanite religion and how modern science philosophically parallels that ancient religion. Oh dear, quick, there's still time to switch to something else before the nerdiness-level reaches critical mass!
