Christianity & Science: A Survey of Church History with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

This sermon explores the rise of pessimism among American Christians in the late 19th century, attributing it primarily to the rapid advancements in science. While early scientists and theologians saw compatibility, later scientific findings began to conflict with traditional Christian interpretations, leading to perceived opposition. The takeaway is that this conflict was largely initiated by scientists, not theologians, and that Christianity has historically been a friend to learning and exploration.
