September 8, 2024 From Darwin to Marx: Impacts on Modern Beliefs

A Show of Faith

Can human freedom and morality coexist with the principles of Darwinism? Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey with a distinguished panel, including Professor David Capes, Father Mario Arroyo, Rudy Kong, and Rabbi Stuart Federow.
We kick off by examining Charles Darwin's ideas on survival and reproduction, and their profound impact on human behavior. Through a Judeo-Christian lens, we explore how these forces shape our understanding of freedom and moral responsibility.
Our conversation then navigates the controversial terrain of social Darwinism, scrutinizing its historical misuse to justify racial superiority and other unethical practices. We'll dissect the stark contrasts between Darwinist principles and Judeo-Christian values, highlighting the ethical dilemmas of using scientific theories to engineer societal norms. With insights from our panel, we reflect on how these ideas have influenced human beliefs, moral values, and the value of human life.
Lastly, we delve into the enduring impact of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Marxist thought on modern culture.
From Freud's emphasis on psychological determinism to the shift from economic to cultural Marxism, we unpack how these theories have reshaped our understanding of identity, freedom, and societal structures.
The episode concludes with insights developed by Dr. James Tour on the intersection of Darwinism, scientific advancements, and theology, offering a holistic reflection on faith, society, and the role of divine order in our lives.
Join us for a stimulating discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and explores the depths of human freedom and morality.
