War of the Worldviews:
Christianity vs. Naturalism
by
John Byl PhD.
Seattle Creation Conference, October 2010.
Description:
Some claim science has "killed" God. Yet science is not objective but is very much worldview-driven. Worldviews reflect our most basic presuppositions about reality. The defense of naturalism & post-modernity are ultimately self-refuting. Christianity, on the other hand, gives coherence, meaning, purpose & hope.
