For those who know me very well at all, you know that I consider the Christian view of Creation (in six ordinary days) to be a necessary component of the Christian worldview. I know that such an opinion is largely unpopular today (both outside, and sadly, inside the Church). But without the doctrine of Creation firmly placed in our hearts and minds, we have little to offer the world around us. For without it, we have no transcendent God whose word is reliable, and no firm basis upon which to build a true understanding of the world around us (including the sciences). Moreover, by it we have a basis for a universal and beneficial ethics for all of life.

David Berlinski was interviewed by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institute. He is an astonishing presenter of the foolishness of those who say “There is no God” (Ps. 14), and the plausibility of the biblical creation account. Although Berlinski comes across as agnostic in the above clip, his clear and careful logic form a compelling philosophical basis to argue for biblical creation – and to seriously mistrust the prevailing popular beliefs in both atheistic evolution and the infallibility of science and scientific confidence in Naturalism.

“ The fool has said in his heart,“There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the Lord? There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous. You shame the counsel of the poor, But the Lord is his refuge. Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.” (Psalm 147, NKJV)
