Needed: a radio program which uses science to display God's glory
to the typical Christian layperson. (Ken Ham -- NOT!)
I earlier told this list of my concerns about my favorite Christian
radio station suddenly deciding to promote Ken Ham (& ICR). Well, last
Wednesday my wife and I met with the station manager and talked about the
issue. He did his best to listen to us and tried to understand our point of
view.
He and I agree that something must be done to combat the
naturalistic philosophy which permeates science and education. (I use the
term "naturalistic philosophy" where he would use the term "evolution" so I
am putting our conversation in *my* words.)
Toward the end of our conversation, the station manager said that he
would be interested in other programs which would use science to describe
God's glory to the layperson and typical member of his audience. However,
he doesn't know of any except the Ken Ham spot, and wishing to combat the
naturalistic philosophy of the public schools, feels obligated to use the
"best" tools available.
Surely there is something better out there! Anyone have some
suggestions?
I said that *if* I had time AND a medical doctor to collaborate
with, I could create 365 radio spots on the human body displaying God's
creative glory. (The incredible cornea, the rods and cones in the back of
the eye, the way the brain interprets sight, the inner ear and hearing,
enzymes in the kidney, etc. etc. etc.) Each of those radio spots would give
the high school biology student more ammunition against Darwinism than a
month of Ken Ham.
Give me someone else to collaborate with (I said) and I could create
365 radio shorts on the incredible animal kingdom. Another year on the
plant kingdom, a year on astronomy and meteorology, ...
... and so on.
I don't have the time. But hasn't this been done before?
In Christ,
Ken
