Who is the Christian Atheist? John Wise is a philosophy professor who spent the bulk of his academic career as an atheist. In 2019 he underwent a dramatic (re)conversion to faith in Christ, and now, seeing the world through the dual lenses of Christianity and atheism, he seeks to understand how a 21st century worldview, a respect for science and a commitment to truth are reconciled in the Incarnation of Christ.
NOTE 5/24/24: As should be obvious from this episode, the Christian Atheist is a work in progress. I was not at the time I wrote this episode, and am not NOW a finished work in Christ. My whole existence is now the attempt to approach as near to my God as I can, each new day being a new opportunity for learning and approaching His holy Ideal.
For the most part, I stand by everything I've written/broadcast over these past 5 years. However, I have experienced one MAJOR revolution in my thinking. I no longer believe in evolutionary theory as God's means to create man. Turning from this position took almost the full 5 years of intensive schooling I've received while podcasting. I encourage ALL our listeners to this episode to also listen to Episode# 141, "The Structure of a Scientific Revolution."
I pray that my adherence to this deeply flawed scientistic origins myth led/leads no one astray. In retrospect, and in view of the deeply Hegelian assumptions of evolutionary theory, I am a bit ashamed that it took me this long to recognize the deeply unscientific structure of Darwinian thinking.
We must all start somewhere in our journey with the LORD. He takes us as we are and slowly but surely mold us into His image.
"Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says Yahweh of hosts."
