Hey all,
I was watching this video this morning and it raised a lot of questions. While I don't agree with theistic evolution, I think this speaker does a great job at demonstrating how Darwinism does not equal naturalism.
So I think he has raised a good point, and it got me considering the relation between data and the interpretation of data. It seems that data can be interpreted in any number of ways, as all Presuppositionalists acknowledge. SO we could look at planetary movements and say with Newton that it's God's handiwork, or we could look at the movements of planets and say it's 'nature's' handiwork.
Yet I have this Catholic friend who constantly sends me quotes from these atheist writers he's reading, and the quotes are always "Science disproves religion". I know that's stupid. I even think that I have demonstrated it's stupid, but it would be great if I could find more info on this. So do any of you want to try to explain to me this divide between scientific data and analyzing it's implications on matters metaphysical? Or does anyone have any links discussing this maybe? Aren't there hundreds of apologetics websites that are supposed to be answering questions like this?
Thanks!
