The player is loading ...

"If you wanna have faith have faith, but don't tell me you have 'data.'"

These and other related statements have recently been made by people interacting with our podcast content.

This month we delve into the following questions:

  • How is it possible to start with the Bible as "data"?
  • Can the scientific method be applied to the Bible?
  • What do we mean by the Bible/science method of research and discovery?

Also on this episode:

  • Research Update: Climate Change
  • Helen's View: "Coronary Christians"

NEW PODCAST WEBSITE: The BC Messenger has a new podcast website! It will act as a dedicated "hub" for our listeners, giving you an easy place to search past content, communicate, and provide feedback.
