Lectures in Science
The New Atheism, Science and Human Values
EICC Founder Joe Boot discusses whether morality is possible in an atheistic worldview, and how the 'new atheism' movement has in fact become pantheistic.
The Science of Faith and the Faith of Science
Worship includes the use of our minds. A Christian cosmology maintains that the laws of nature are only laws because they are God's ordinary way of working. There is no conflict inherent between science and religion.
Can Science Determine Human Values?
Joe Boot discusses whether the methods of science can provide values for humanity and offers a critique of Sam Harris.
The Revelation of God in Creation
The creative act of God recorded in Genesis lays out the literal meaning for the rest of the Bible. In the Christian worldview, creation and redemption stand in an absolute historical continuum together. A proper understanding of God's revelation in creation requires a proper understanding of his Word which interprets the world.
The Meaning of Evolution
Evolution is a worldview which affects how we think about every area: pyschology, human morality, history and literature. Joe Boot discusses how the popular form of this idea arose and how it stands at odds with a biblical understanding of the world.
Christianity and Science
The third installment of the material originally delivered at Belleville Worldview Conference, May 26, 2012. Joe Boot discusses the foundational beliefs and commitments required for a coherent understanding of science and scientific knowledge.
Origins and Destiny
If the events of the past are not directed by a personal God, then history is meaningless.
