Defending a Young Earth with Dr. Terry Mortenson
S1E4 How to Think About Origins
Season 1, Episode 4 • 24-Jan-2023
Dr. Mortenson begins by explaining the significant difference between operation (experimental) science (which produces new technology or finds cures for disease) and origin (or historical) science (which attempts to reconstruct the past events that produced the evidence we see in the present, such as rock layers and fossils). He then explains the critical role of assumptions in the interpretation of the scientific evidence regarding origins by contrasting the naturalistic worldview controlling the thinking of most scientists and the biblical worldview that should control the thinking of Christians. He explains that most Christians have compromised with the naturalistic worldview. He concludes by giving a number of reasons why Christians should trust what God says in Genesis 1¬–11 rather than what the majority of scientists say about origins.
