Evolution, Creation, and the Battle for Worldview Supremacy
🔍 Can objectivity survive belief?
In Part 2 of Chapter 16, we push further into the philosophical and psychological roots of evolutionary theory—and ask what happens when science becomes a battlefield of worldviews.
What if palaeontology had evolved under a different paradigm? What if peer-reviewed journals were dominated not by secular naturalism, but by creationist interpretations of the same data? Would the facts remain the same—or would our interpretations shift dramatically?
From the nature of radiometric dating and the controversies of fossil interpretation, to the psychological dynamics behind dominance, exclusion, and the fear of social exile—this episode explores the often-unspoken instincts driving how we build consensus in science and society. We’ll also dissect the ideological consequences of forgery, bias, and narrative-building on both sides of the worldview divide.
You don’t need to be religious—or atheist—to see the deeper point: that truth may not be what we find, but what we allow ourselves to seek.
🎧 Highlights:
A thought experiment on scientific dominance and paradigm shifts
The psychology of social conformity in secular and religious spaces
The myth of pure objectivity in science
Creationism vs. Evolution through a reversed lens
How groupthink, prestige, and fear shape what we call "truth"
This is not a battle between belief and unbelief—it’s a deep dive into the human need for certainty, the fear of being wrong, and the sociological pressure to conform. Whether you’re a sceptic, a seeker, or somewhere in between, this episode is for those who dare to question the narrators, not just the narrative.
