Bart van den Dikkenberg in CNE’s Podcast: Impossible to believe in evolution and the Bible

from CNE's Newsround Europe · host Bart van den Dikkenberg, Kathryn Idema

Can a Christian believe in both God and evolution? According to Bart van den Dikkenberg, the answer is no, as the two beliefs are contradictory to the Christian faith.  Van den Dikkenberg, a science and technology editor for the Dutch Reformed newspaper Reformatorisch Dagblad (RD), says that his primary concern today is seeing scientists who are embracing a form of theistic evolution in their professions. Theistic evolution, he explains, is the idea that God created everything through evolutionary processes over billions of years. Yet, the two worldviews within that theory are "competing".  About this and more Bart van Den Dikkenberg tells in the CNE podcast.  For more, visit https://CNE.news or subscribe to our newsletters at https://cne.news/subscribe
