Dealing with the Skeptic: WHI audios

As many of you know, I listen to the WHI weekly on their webcast.  These last two weeks have been absolutely brilliant for a particular audience.  If you have reasons to be a skeptic, particularly a scientific world view, these two programs are outstanding.  The first program is an interview by Mike Horton of Michael Shermer.  The second program is an evaluation of the interview by Greg Koukl in a conversation with Mike Horton.

I have recommended Greg Koukl's book Tactics in the past, and this is a great opportunity to do this again.  Greg's skill as an apologist are the best that I have heard.  His formula for addressing objections is simple, effective and reproducible, all wonderful attributes of a good scientific paradigm, by the way.

The target audience for these two programs is any person who believes that science is at odds with Biblical truth.  Mike and Greg demonstrate how the two should be used together, and how to prevent the diabolical dialogue of discrediting the Creator with His creation.  Click on the Program Audio button to listen.



There are a couple of assumptions that you will have to have to understand this better.  First, the base theology of Mike and Greg concerning creation is called Framework, and I've posted a lengthy article on this in the past by Meredith Klein.  Second, these guys are Covenant Theology proponents, and Calvinists.  The fact that all of this works together so well is why it so appealing to me.  There are so many tangent discussions that come from this that we can talk for months.

Please, if you are a regular reader of this blog, take the hour or so to listen to both of these podcasts.  It is well worth the time.
