Student Questions: On Creation

Feb 4, 2025

As the student questions series continues, I’m talking through ideas inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue to consider how to have a conversation based on the fifth chapter--Creation.  Here are some questions for discussion:

• Why creation and not evolution?
• Can we settle the question of origins?
• Where do we start the conversation to set a tone of collaboration, rather than combativeness?
• Is evolution the only, or even the best, explanation?
• Can we survive a world that assumes evolution?
