In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species—and many believed it marked the end of faith. Science had won. Religion had lost.

But that story isn’t history. It’s a myth.

In this episode, we break down the real relationship between science and Christianity—unpacking the famous Darwin debate, the origins of the “science vs religion” narrative, and why historians now reject it.

You’ll discover:

* Why the Darwin vs Christianity conflict is largely invented

* The truth behind the 1860 Oxford debate

* Famous Christian scientists you’ve never heard about

* What Darwin actually challenged (and what he didn’t)

* Why evolution doesn’t disprove God

From Gregor Mendel to Francis Collins, from Augustine to modern theology—this episode explores how faith and science have always been more connected than we’ve been told.

At 18 I decided I wanted to be a pastor. There was one problem. While I grew up in church, I didn’t have a clear understanding of how I thought about God. So, I spent 20 years pursuing that. This framework is the result of those 20 years.
