Ben Stein Talking About The Movie "Expelled" With R.C. Sproul



This is a very interesting conversation and take careful note of many of the points that these gentlemen purport for us. These ideas and questions need to continue to be pressed forward in the public sphere. As you do this keep in mind that all of this does not get us to the gospel. Simply admitting that there is a designer does not get us to Jesus, nor does it even get us to Christianity on the whole.

Romans 1 already shows us that we all know the truth, (like the Pharisees did after Jesus rose from the grave) but the problem is that we hate it. We know just enough to see the implications and suppress it.

Remember that even if you can back someone into a logical corner and show them that the reality of God is true, it doesn't mean they will repent and seek Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. It might be a good first step, but as we interact may we need to keep further steps in mind.

Yes, you are right. However, on the other hand I think that so many Christians back away from science because they feel that the "real scientists" already have it covered. Sadly, because we give up this battle the battle against abortion and other social issues loses momentum and the God-absent public sphere gains ground, especially in our public schools.

Thanks for posting this, Z.
