"Why the ‘God of the Gaps’ Objection Misses the Point" ft. Dr. William Dembski
Is Intelligent Design really just “God of the Gaps”? Dr. William Dembski — mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and one of the most influential voices in the ID movement — says no. In this episode, he explains why that common objection completely misses the mark, how mathematics reveals design in nature, and why so many scientists stick to materialism despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
You’ll hear:
- Why “God of the Gaps” is actually an argument from knowledge
- The difference between Intelligent Design and Creationism
- How “specified complexity” helps detect design
- What to do when your faith is shaken in the science classroom
Whether you’re a student wrestling with evolution in class, a parent trying to equip your kids, or a skeptic willing to hear the other side — this conversation will challenge your assumptions.
