Christianity Can Integrate With Science – Ep.342 – Scientism & Secularism – The Importance Of Integrating Christianity And Science – Part 2
Christianity Can Integrate With Science Christianity can integrate with science. In fact, the scientific revolution was only made possible because of the Christian worldview and those people who sought to discover just exactly how God ordered the universe. Only post-Enlightenment anachronistic history puts Christianity and science at odds with each other. So, this is our […]
Can Science Integrate With Christianity? – Ep.341 – Scientism & Secularism – The Importance Of Integrating Christianity And Science – Part 1
Can Science Integrate With Christianity? Now that we have knocked down scientism, are Christians left without being able to use science?

Fine Tuning, Consciousness, & Morality – Ep.338 – Scientism & Secularism – 5 Things Science Can’t Explain But Theism Can – Part 2
Fine Tuning, Consciousness, & Morality Finishing up on the 5 things science can’t explain: Fine Tuning, Consciousness, & Morality.

Science Can’t Explain Origin Or Laws – Ep.337 – Scientism & Secularism – 5 Things Science Can’t Explain But Theism Can – Part 1
Science Can’t Explain Origin Or Laws Looking at how philosophy first holds its place over science, we look at five things science can’t explain – but Theism can. Two of those things it can’t explain are origin or laws. That is, the origin of the universe and the fundamental laws of nature. You’d think this […]

Scientists and atheists. […]
The Authority Of Philosophy Over Science – Ep.333 – Scientism & Secularism – Examples Of The Authority And Autonomy Theses – Part 1
The Authority Of Philosophy Over Science If you think the atheists are mad and don’t watch our videos before commenting, wait till they don’t see this one! In continuing the argument that philosophy should be considered first before one considers their science, we look at how the authority of philosophy is not only substantiated by […]
Philosophy First! – Ep.332 – Scientism & Secularism – Scientism & 1st Philosophy
Philosophy First! The goal is not to reject science. It’s understanding the failure that scientism provides when it comes to understanding. However, adopting a philosophy first framework provides the foundation for science to function (and the presuppositions needed for the necessary preconditions of intelligibility). So he’s the case for adopting First Philosophy. TIMELINE: 00:00 – […]
Scientism Is Not All In The Head – Ep.331 – Scientism & Secularism – When Science Exceeds Its Reach
Scientism Is Not All In The Head Here’s a case study in which desiring only naturalist scientific explanations won’t get you anywhere – consciousness.

Weak Scientism Is Weak – Ep.329 – Scientism & Secularism – Why Weak Scientism Is No Better
Weak Scientism Is Weak Ok, strong scientism is bad because it denies any other field the ability to provide truth and in making the claim it becomes self-refuting. But what about weak scientism which lets a few areas have their claims to help support the Science(TM)? Well even weak scientism is weak and must be […]
Presuppositions Of Science – Ep.327 – Scientism & Secularism – Scientism Is the Enemy of Science – Cave To The Cross Apologetics – Part 2

Scientism Is Self-Refuting – Ep.326 – Scientism & Secularism – Scientism Is Self-Refuting & Scientism Is the Enemy of Science – Cave To The Cross Apologetics – Part 1
Scientism Is Self-Refuting Now that we’ve defined our terms about scientism, what makes it so dangerous? Here we introduce that scientism is self-refuting. This matters because the claims scientism makes means that it then makes science impossible to do. Moreland gives six presuppositions that actual science rests upon and in upcoming episodes we’ll look at […]
The Ugly Source Of Scientism – Ep.325 – Scientism & Secularism – How Scientism Changed The Universities – Cave To The Cross Apologetics
The Ugly Source Of Scientism Where did scientism come from? What is the ugly source of scientism? Would anyone be shocked to learn that the love of war and government overreach has led to negative outcomes?

Scientism Ruins Lives Now that we’ve defined scientism, we have to talk about why it matters. How scientism ruins lives of us in our so-called modern world.
