One, one example I actually use in my book, which is very helpful.
Neil ShenviGUEST
And this is, it's interesting because, uh, it shows you how the Darwinian evolution does require a lot of philosophical assumptions, or even scientific ones.

There are a couple of things that Bill Dembski does in his article for the Christian Research Journal that I should point out as well as I introduce him once again today to our radio listening audience.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
In the article, which is titled Old Earth Creationism and the Fall, he puts his cards on the table.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
He points out specifically that he is a biblical inerrantist.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
He accepts the full verbal inspiration of the Bible and the conventional authorship of the books of the Bible.

And on the line, William Dembski.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
He is the author of more than 20 books, including The Design of Life: Discovering Signs of Intelligence in Biological Systems.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
And for our purposes, we are so thankful that he wrote The End of Christianity: Finding a Good God in an Evil World, and an article for the Christian Research Journal, Old Earth Creationism and the Fall.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
Bill, what about the possible charge that you might, in some idolatrous fashion, be worshiping at the altar of science at the expense of biblical truth?
