Apologetics 8: Engaging our Culture: The Case of Science

This eighth lecture in a 2021 series on “Christian Apologetics” for Regent College Vancouver explores aspects of the relation of science and faith. It opens by considering the Cultural Myth of the warfare of science and faith, exploring its origins and why it is now considered somewhat simplistic. The lecture then considers the viewpoint that is known as “Scientism”, which holds that science has privileged access to reality, before moving on to reflect on the question of whether science proves its beliefs, as some writers in the “New Atheism” suggest. This is followed by an important section which considers three ways of correlating Science and Faith, followed by a concluding section reflecting on how science can be as a pointer towards faith. This lecture is of particular importance in the light of the high cultural profile of science, and opens up some important ways of engaging apologetic issues.
