Episode 89 - Poor Design or the Fall?

Show NotesIn recent episodes we have discussed Design Arguments and Intelligent Design. Here we cover another chapter from the 50 Arguments for Faith book which explains the apparent suboptimal Design. It is interesting to see what reasons Intelligent Design proponents give.   One suggestion is: "We must also remember that the world we are observing is not the original creation. It is a corrupted version of The Creation." This leads us into discussing the Fall as an explanation for Natural Suffering, a widely held view in Christianity. The journey of discussion will be continued next episode. Links:The 50 Arguments for Faith book: “Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy and Science” by Mike Licona and William Dembski.  (It can be found on Amazon.) The famous video clip with Stephen Fry talking about worms burrowing out of children’s eyes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwNYSQo Justin Brierley’s response video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klPr708VWDk Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback, meet Ed’s challenge on suffering in the Old Testament and ask questions using:  [email protected]
