Episode 166: A Theology of Science [Part 2] Daniel Ray talks with Dr. Paul Tyson about his new book
Manage episode 354579367 series 2655939
We live in an age where the scientific definition of what it means to be human is not only radically different than the biblical understanding of our existence, but that the scientific view trumps any theologically informed beliefs about what it means to be created in God's image. Our imageo Dei is reduced to a matter of feeling and personal opinion, nothing more.
Our guest this week is philosopher Dr. Paul Tyson, author of the book, A Theology of Science. Dr. Tyson makes the case that we as Christians need to radically revise our thinking, not allowing ourselves to be conformed to a completely scientific materialist view of the human body of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds in relation to what it means to be created in the image of God. But that mental transformation, Paul argues, even a kind of repentance, requires time, thought, and space to pray and contemplate how we might recapture a Christ-centered, God-glorifying theology of science.
Dr Paul Tyson is an integral thinker who works across theology, philosophy and sociology. Metaphysics and epistemology, understood not only philosophically and theoretically, but equally theologically and sociologically, are his areas of interest. At present he is a Principal Investigator and the Project Co-coordinator for the "After Science and Religion" project, run through IASH. This project stems from Professor Peter Harrison's 2015 text, The Territories of Science and Religion, and seeks to re-think what both science and religion could look like as we move forward.
