Recovering Evangelicals#187 – Adam had ancestors!?
Christianity’s response to discoveries of ancient hominids today is exactly the same as their response to previous discoveries of “non-Adamic” people in the Americas … “they’re not human!”
Christianity today is not handling well the recent discoveries of ancient hominids. A lot of denial and dismissal; very little excitement or enthusiasm. One shouldn’t be surprised by this, nor wonder about how they might try to cope with this new knowledge, because we’ve already seen the playbook before: when the Church in the 17th century had to wrestle with the discoveries of indigenous peoples in far-off continents...

The Thomistic InstituteDivine Simplicity and Identity | Prof. Jeffrey BrowerProfessor Jeffrey Brower explores the traditional doctrine of divine simplicity, which states that God is identical to His attributes. He examines the historical context, including perspectives from Augustine, Anselm, and Aquinas, and addresses the standard objection raised by contemporary analytic philosophers. Brower proposes a "truth maker" interpretation of divine simplicity as an alternative to the problematic "property" account, arguing that this approach avoids category mistakes while maintaining coherence with traditional understandings.This lecture was given on June 1, 2024, at Mount Saint Mary College.For more information on upcoming events, visit...

jon atack, family and friendsScientology Sells Selfishness! with Jeffrey AugustineDespite its many claims, Scientology is the opposite of Buddhism because it encourages selfishness and erodes compassion. Scientology enslaves its followers mentally and physically by selling dreams of liberation. Jeffrey talks with Jon about the 1st dynamic - the urge to survive for yourself - which is at the heart of Hubbard's doctrine. Why are there so many suicides in Scientology and why do so many Scientologists - even high-level Scientologists - die before their time, often from curable diseases?

Christianity has always existed alongside of science. Some of the greatest Biblical characters were highly educated people (Moses; Daniel; Solomon; Saul of Tarsus). Most of the early Church Fathers were fully schooled in the highest forms of Greek thinking (Irenaeus; Clement; Origen; Augustine). Many leading scientists from the past (Sir Isaac Newton; William Buckland) and the present (Francis Collins; John Lennox; John Polkinghorne) fully embrace their Christian faith.

How is an abstract, theological concept like guilt or sin transmitted down through genetic lines? Can that really be inherited like skin color, or a tendency towards high blood pressure?

The vast majority of people — whether they be Christians sitting in the pews of our churches, or non-believers outside the church — think that Substance Dualism is a central and core tenet of Christianity. That one can’t reject Substance Dualism and still call themselves Christian.
And yet many scholars — both Christian and non-believers — who have spent decades studying this question have reasons to conclude that Substance Dualism “doesn’t work.”
Here, we go through a number of scientific and philosophical arguments against Substance Dualism, and Biblical reasons why we don’t have to hang on to this idea.
