Looking for a Miracle

In this episode, Tim and Ray talk all about science⁠—or more so⁠, all about how science often gets thrown out the window in faith-based communities. What are the origins of this ideological clash? Galileo and his heliocentrism? Darwin and his common ancestors? Are faith healers and their promises of “miraculous healing” completely full of it? Why do evangelicals give more authority to their pastors when it comes to health outcomes and natural phenomena than they do to actual doctors and science experts? Is the Bible ableist? And why do so many Christians keep it a secret (or just flat out ignore it) when they take ill? The hosts close the show discussing how these seemingly personal problems are to the detriment of all of society when played out on a macro-level (think: dominion theology and Christian nationalism), and offer some alternative ideas for reconciliation.
