C.S. Lewis Disproves Evolution | Mere Christianity

C.S. Lewis discusses two views about the universe: the materialist and the religious. The materialist view suggests that matter and space have always existed without purpose, resulting in life by chance. The religious view posits that a conscious, purposeful mind created the universe to produce beings with minds. Science, which relies on observation and experimentation, cannot answer why the universe exists or if there is something beyond observable facts. Humans uniquely perceive a moral law, suggesting an underlying influence. This perception implies a directing force in the universe, which may not be a traditional deity but hints at a conscious, purpose-driven power. Lewis also critiques the Life-Force philosophy, which blends evolution with purpose without the moral implications of a deity, offering comfort without accountability.

Cs Lewis was an old earth creationist who explicitly stated he accepted evolution in the Problem of Pain

[@davidmyers5767]

So pain makes us stronger and love makes us weak

[@calebcunningham3034]

This is mistitled. He was simply stating that science does not answer the question “is there a god?”

Where to find the rest of this audition?

Lewis said he wasn't interested in denying the theory of evolution as believed by practicing biologists.

[@martynmettam9296]

He is attacking materialism in this talk. Elsewhere ( I wish I could remember where), he says if he had more time or a different vocation he would have liked to look more into biological evolution as he suspects it’s not as solid a theory as proposed.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins not cw Lewis

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Who's CW Lewis? Is he related to CS Lewis? That'd be cool.

[@keenanmiller6231]

You should articulate what your real problem is Obviously nobody believes CS Lewis died on the cross . Nobody believes that and it’s foolish of you to claim that anybody does If you are a follower of Christ then be careful with your words and say precisely what you mean ? What is your problem with this video and/or the people commenting on it
