Earth’s Origins: Science, Theology, and a New Geology Textbook | The Creation Podcast: Episode 99
The Creation PodcastShow Notes
Since the late eighteenth century, most scientists have argued for a uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. They claim the world that exists today was sculpted by natural processes over billions of years. However, this interpretation presents many issues both scientifically and theologically. Contrary to popular belief, the global evidence indicates a recent catastrophic past.
By definition, science is truth attained by knowledge gained from evidence, but most students will only be presented with the uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. Recently, the Institute for Creation Research has had the privilege of publishing a geology textbook: Earth Systems: An Introduction to Earth System Origins, Structures, and Processes. This landmark textbook presents both worldviews, allowing the reader to examine both sides of the conversation.
In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at why such a biblical understanding of earth science is vital and why this textbook is such a valuable resource.
