Evolution is Beautiful? An Aesthetic Theodicy for Animal Suffering (w/ Dr. John Haught) (Ep. #168)

John F. Haught (Ph. D. Catholic University, 1970) is a Distinguished Research Professor, Georgetown University, Washington DC. In this interview, I talk with Dr. Haught about evolutionary theory and its relationship to Christian Theism. Is evolution evidence against God? How can it be seen in the light of Biblical teaching?

God spoke - creating the universe. Since we can't even understand God's Time, is a 100 years on earth 1 minute in Heaven? I roll with the punches, accept the accurate facts for this moment of understanding & keep on searching for the Holy Grail of Truth, blessings Maggie I love listening to deep thinkers, Great episode!

For God time is nothing yet timing is everything

Just at what point is one to begin believing scripture? Genesis Chapter 3, 4, or when? I sincerely don’t understand

I still don’t think macroevolution is proven at all. It’s a worldview and is backed up by very little. Yes there are things we don’t understand, but Darwinism? Full of holes. Listen to David Berlinski and John Lennox. Listen to James Tour.
