  • What were C.S. Lewis's real views on evolution and intelligent design? Dr. John West, Vice President of Discovery Institute, explores this topic in this lecture from the 2024 Dallas Conference on Science & Faith sponsored by Discovery Institute. Dr. West is editor of The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society and co-editor of The C.S. Lewis Readers' Encyclopedia. Find out more at Dr. West's website, www.johngwest.com.
    Note: An earlier version of this video had some audio issues for those listening in mono rather than stereo. This version fixes that.

    There no wrong doing just mislead by words and negative emotions.. this creates constrictions and it makes the mind collide with each other which creates negative matter..❤❤❤❤

    Sad to hear he was willing to be manipulated by popular thinking. BUT he didn’t see most of the evidence that we now know, which makes the case much clearer.

    Dr. West: "...whether Lewis finally accepted that humans evolved from lower animals..." There really is no such thing as "lower animals". All organisms on earth occupy environmental niches, and are very good at occupying those niches. In fact, given that 99% of organisms that have existed on earth are extinct, one could say the extant organisms are the "1%". Nothing "lower" about that. Dr. West also appears to not understand the evolution of humans. Humans and other primates of the Caterrhini clade are the products of a common ancestor. In the same way you are related to others who have the same grandparents as you, humans are related to other primates that have the same (great-great) grandparents.

      @@KenJackson_US I was being facetious. I was incredulous at the dissonance between the appellation "theistic evolutionist" and the indication that Lewis really believed that natural selection accounted for the loss of attributes, or the honing or speciation of innate potential traits or characteristics as we observe in plant and animal husbandry, involving (again) a loss or refinement of information.

    You can't set-up religious beliefs as a pre-condition to accepting scientific evidence, and the conclusions that follow.
    Most religious beliefs are founded on highly questionable, and even non-existent evidence, so why should 'beliefs' trump actual evidence?
    Faith is by definition a personal choice to believe in that which there is no credible evidence. (Otherwise it would be called fact, not faith...)

      Six miracles atheists believe in... But there is no miracle worker
      1. Existence from non-existence
      2. Order comes from chaos
      3. Life comes from non-life
      4. The personal comes from the non-personal
      5. Reason comes from non-reason
      6. Morality comes from matter

    Thanks. Now I know that Lewis learned nothing than he studied philosophy. Darwin is based on evidence, Spencer is based on prejudice. And Lewis - it seems - is based on a total lack of understanding, making him the perfect witness for creationists
