many Movements in the 18th century favored<br />

scientific opinion and religious skepticism. For<br />

example, philosophers David Hume and Immanuel<br />

Kant rejected the idea of God as creator and<br />

reaffirmed Galileo’s division of science and<br />

of the Bible to be coherent and true?” Dr. Carson<br />

gives several points which he feels must be<br />

emphasized and that are least negotiable.<br />
