S3E11 "The Funeral of a Great Myth" with Dr. Bethany Sollereder (Part 1‪)‬ Lesser-Known Lewis

In this 1944 essay "The Funeral of a Great Myth" C. S. Lewis continues the thought he began in "Is Theology Poetry?" about how the scientific theory of evolution has been hijacked by scientism to become an all-encompasing cosmic theory about improvement or development or progress. In Lewis' perspective, it is time to put this "mythic" to death. Dr. Bethany Sollereder, lecturer in Science & Religion, joins us to discuss how Lewis was right on the money — and where parts of his argument do not hold up.
