In this lecture, given last month in Dallas, Stephen Meyer discusses how science is not only compatible with Christianity, but actually grew out of the culture of Christian Western Europe. I have covered most of this material in this article, but it is nice to have my view confirmed by the extremely erudite and well educated Meyer.
His case study of the conflict of Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia, which begins around the 35 minute mark, is a bit disappointing. The important point is that Newton was a Christian and a careful student of the Scriptures, which informed his entire worldview. Instead of emphasizing that, Meyer goes off on a tangent about the nature of gravity and a dispute between Newton and Leibniz over physics that does not advance the argument about Christianity and science. But the first half of the lecture is well worth listening to.
