Do your values match your view of origins?
The age of waning faith and shrinking church attendance is the age of increasing social justice awareness. As never before, a younger generation cares deeply about racial, economic, gender, and environmental issues.
At the same time, this is a science-oriented generation, convinced of naturalistic origins of the universe and humankind. Few stop to question whether their view of origins is consistent with the ideals of social justice about which they are so passionate. Origins and outcomes are important.
If you find this intriguing, I’d like to invite you to coffee, as it were, and have a robust conversation. I’m neither a scientist nor a theologian, just a guy who cherishes critical thinking about life’s big issues. Pull up a chair, and let’s talk.
Which view of origins should you choose to live your life by?
- A Purely Natural Origin?
- A Supernatural Origin?
- A Combination of Both?
