4 Moves to Solve Disagreements Between Science and the Bible

Description:Join me on this episode as I introduce a new approach to addressing disagreements between biblical teaching and modern science. I've developed a four-step process aimed at fostering a faithful exploration of these issues. First, we examine our philosophical pre-commitments. Then, we ensure an accurate understanding of the biblical text. Next, we consider if there's a direct ancient world referent or if the phenomenon could affect today's world. Finally, we assess if a creationist model explains the phenomenon effectively. By following this method, we can navigate these complex topics with clarity and integrity. Tune in to explore how this approach can guide your understanding of science and Scripture.00:00 - Introduction: Exploring Science and the Bible01:12 - Introduction to the Four Moves: A Methodological Approach02:43 - Move 1: Philosophical Pre-commitments - Analyzing Personal Beliefs07:26 - Move 2: Understanding the Biblical Text - Interpretation and Context12:29 - Move 3: Ancient World Referents - Cultural and Historical Context20:12 - Move 4: Creationist Models - Seeking Alternative Explanations28:41 - Conclusion: Applying the Method and Encouragement to Explore
