Can a Loving God Use Evolution? Denis Alexander vs Ed Atkinson hosted by John Nelson

from Unbelievable?

What does evolution mean for Christian faith? In this episode of Unbelievable?, John Nelson hosts a thoughtful dialogue between molecular biologist Dr Denis Alexander and returning guest Ed Atkinson on one of the deepest questions in science and theology. Can evolution be reconciled with the character of God, or do millions of years of suffering count against belief? Denis argues that evolution can fit within a Christian vision of creation, purpose and resurrection. At the same time, Ed presses the moral problem of suffering, questioning whether such a costly process is compatible with a loving God. Along the way, they discuss free will, the fall, the image of God, human uniqueness, morality, and whether meaning depends on ultimate purpose - a rich and honest conversation at the intersection of evolution, suffering, and faith.
