Great video, Micah! I love your answers! So happy you’re buddy reading with Steve this month! Thankful for your friendship & for the pal you’ve become to Steve!! ❤
I absolutely adore C.S. Lewis! Mere Christianity was a huge help for me as I was exploring more of the faith I claimed to have. I can't wait to meet him one day and talk with him about things over a cup of coffee. :)
Thank you for this, Micah. I realized, as you answered the tags, that I need and want to read some more of C. S. Lewis & reread the few that I already have read!
Thank you!! It really took me by surprise too, so I wanted to look into it. Basically what I learned was that the Christians who believe in evolution just accept that science has already proven it. Like, they don't question that part at all. So they in turn try to show how it can fit in with the Bible. They do bring out some interesting ideas and questions. But when I looked into the scientific side I found that it was anything but proven. Quite the opposite, in fact. The evidence and arguments on the creationist side still seem the most logical and scientifically supported to me. And there is still not a great answer to how there could be death before the fall of Adam. Needless to say, I loved digging into the topic. 😁
So glad you did this tag!!! Loved your answers to all the questions!! I believe in the literal 6 day creation also! I had not realized he believed in evolution either.
I have a degree in Evolutionary Anthropology and the arguments for evolution just became less and less convincing the farther I got into the degree, but I stuck with it purely hoping to see the best arguments for evolution possible so I could understand the non-Christian worldview better. Obviously, it didn’t happen and I think if you’re looking for someone to articulate the failings of evolution in a clear and concise but also learned way I’d recommend any videos or books by David Berlinski. He’s not a believer of any kind but he gives great criticisms of evolution that are definitely worth checking out. Finally, I tend to give someone like Lewis the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his views of creation because at the time of his writing Evolutionary theory was still in its infancy and has some early positive results that surely swayed many an honest man. The actual data hadn’t fully caught up to the theory at the time and I believe had he been alive now his views would differ on the subject. My sincerest apologies, this is probably way too long for a RU-vid comment, alas being concise has never been a skill of mine and I dearly hope it hasn’t been too much of a bother. I really enjoyed the video and as a new subscriber I can’t wait to see more. Keep up the great work!
No, thank you for the great comment!! It's really cool to hear your journey on the matter. I agree 100% about giving Lewis the benefit of the doubt. It was a very different day, and he was an atheist for a lot of his younger years. Again, great thoughts! Thanks so much for coming aboard!! I'm glad to have you!
This is an awesome tag! Your answers were so good! One of my favorite Narnia books is also The Last Battle, I just love the finished feeling, the happy ending that they ran the race! And I think my favorite character is Lucy. She is inspiring to me. Great video Micah, your videos are always anticipated ❤
this is such a cool tag! I also started with audiobooks. Its an unpopular opinion but I think the movies are better, at least in Prince Caspian. It went deeper in character arcs and conversations about faith
Great video! I love the narnia movies (all three of them) and also love the books. I don't think that you have to choose between the two, and like you pointed out, there are story plots in the movies that were very well done.
