Kerby Anderson — Nancy Pearcey writes in her book Total Truth that
Christians must counter the effects of our secular culture and mindset by
developing a consistent and comprehensive biblical worldview. In the middle chapters of her book, she demonstrates how Christians should do this with the question of origins.
Earlier in her book she notes that our society has divided
truth into two categories. She calls this the sacred /secular split or the
private/public split or the fact/value split. They are different ways of saying
the same thing. Religion and moral values are subjective and shoved into the
upper story where private opinions and values reside. And in the lower story
are hard, verifiable facts and scientific knowledge.
There is another key point to this split. The two spheres
should not intersect. In other words, it would be bad manners and a violation
of logic to allow your personal and private choices and values to intersect
with your public life. As the popular saying goes, that would be “shoving your
religion down someone’s throat.”

 KERBY ANDERSON
"Darwin's theory of evolution is more than just a theory. It's the philosophical foundation for atheism and shows up in not only in college textbooks but even in children's books about the Berenstain Bears. I did this program because I wanted both adults and students to have their worldview glasses on whether they are reading a book or watching a movie."

He is the author of several books and the host of "Point of View" (USA Radio Network) in addition to being the most frequent contributor to the Probe radio program.
