Modern Science-Nanez

Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.

Is Christian theology an adversary or friend of modern science?  In the last few decades evangelicals have tended to answer in terms of adversary, but when we take a look at the history of modern science much of it was birthed from the hearts and minds of deeply committed Christians.  In his recent book, Full Gospel, Fractured Minds?, Rick Nanez writes convincingly that science is not only beholden to a Christian worldview, but that we need to begin seeing modern science as a legitimate avenue for the Christian mind.

I agree with Nanez when he argues that we need to contribute to the world of modern science and add our worldview to fields that are changing the world.  He writes that we must, “find our voice and let that voice be heard on the issues that, with or without our involvement, are affecting and will continue to affect the lives of billions.”  So be it.
