The episode delves into the often-contentious relationship between conservative Christianity, particularly as represented by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), and the scientific community. Through the insights of Dr. Benjamin Phillips and Dr. David Perry, we explore how individuals can perceive God through the lens of scientific inquiry, specifically in fields such as chemistry and ecology. The discussion reveals that the doctrines of creation and the understanding of God's presence in the natural world can coexist harmoniously with scientific exploration and understanding. We examine the misconceptions that many hold regarding the tension between faith and science, demonstrating that a more nuanced perspective can lead to greater unity within the church and a fuller appreciation of God's handiwork in creation. Ultimately, this conversation invites listeners to reconsider their views on the interplay of faith and science, promoting a more integrated approach to understanding both realms.The inaugural episode of the miniseries "The Whole Church Science Fair" features a profound dialogue between hosts Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell and esteemed guests Dr. Benjamin Phillips, the Dean of Christian Studies at Charleston Southern University, and Dr. David Perry, an Associate Professor of Chemistry. This episode delves into the intricate relationship between conservative Christianity, particularly as represented by the Southern Baptist Convention, and the scientific community. It challenges the prevailing notion that these two realms are perpetually at odds, particularly concerning issues such as creationism and evolution. The guests articulate how the doctrines of creation can coexist with scientific inquiry, particularly in chemistry and ecology, emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge as a means of understanding God's handiwork in the natural world. They explore how scientific endeavors can illuminate the divine attributes of God, fostering a dialogue that seeks to bridge the gaps between faith and science, ultimately advocating for a more harmonious relationship between the two.Takeaways: In the inaugural episode of our miniseries "The Whole Church Science Fair", we engage with Dr. Benjamin Phillips and Dr. David Perry to explore the intersection of conservative Christianity and scientific inquiry, specifically within the context of the Southern Baptist Convention. The dialogue reveals a common misconception that conservative churches, particularly the Southern Baptist Convention, are inherently antagonistic towards the scientific community, largely due to historical tensions surrounding issues such as evolution and creationism. We discuss how the study of chemistry can illuminate the grandeur of God's creation, emphasizing that scientific discovery can enhance our understanding of divine work rather than diminish it. Dr. Perry articulates a stewardship ethic concerning ecological work, asserting that humanity's role in creation is to cultivate and enhance the natural world rather than exploit it, reflecting the biblical mandate found in Genesis. The episode challenges listeners to consider how a deeper engagement with both scripture and scientific principles can foster unity within the church, particularly amidst differing interpretations of controversial topics such as the age of the earth and human origins. By understanding diverse historical interpretations of Genesis, listeners may find common ground with fellow believers, promoting a spirit of cooperation rather than division in discussions surrounding faith and science. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.You can leave a donation, buy podcast merchandise, check out previous series that...

This week on CounterSpin: In early February, when Representative Maxwell Frost tweeted that he and Representative Maxine Waters were denied access to the Department of Education, Elon Musk responded on the platform he owns: “What is this ‘Department of Education' you keep talking about? I just checked and it doesn't exist.” That, we understand, was the shadow president skating where the puck's gonna be, as they say; a month later, we learned that indeed newly appointed Education Secretary Linda McMahon is tasked not with running but with erasing the department. Elite media have talked about the political machinations, how this was expected, how it fits with Trump/Musk's grand schemes. When it comes to what will happen to the under-resourced schools, and the students with disabilities for whom the DoE supported access and recourse for discrimination? Media seem happy with McMahon's handwaving about how that stuff might be better off in a different agency. The impacts of policy on people with disabilities are overwhelmingly an afterthought for corporate media, even though it's a large community, and one anyone can join at any moment. We talked, on March 5, with journalist and historian David Perry about the threats McMahon and MAGA pose to people — including students — with disabilities. You wouldn't know it from what comes out of the mouths of today's “leaders,” but there has long been a widely shared view in this country that people with disabilities deserve full human rights, but don't have them. July 2023 marked the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. And, as happens every year, a dismaying amount of the anniversary coverage was about buildings or spaces coming into compliance with the ADA — as though complying with a decades-old law was a feel-good story and despite the relative absence of feel-bad stories about decades of noncompliance. CounterSpin spoke at the time with Kehsi Iman Wilson, co-founder of New Disabled South, about what's lost when the public conversation around disability justice revolves around abiding by a baseline law, rather than a bigger vision of a world we can all live in. We revisit that conversation this week on CounterSpin.   The post David Perry on MAGA and Disability / Kehsi Iman Wilson on ADA (2023) appeared first on KPFA.

Policy impacts on people with disabilities are overwhelmingly an afterthought for corporate media, though it's a community anyone can join at any moment.
