It credits the renewed public visibility of Christianity to figures like Charlie Kirk, portraying his approach as \u201cevidential\u201d: he invites people to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-teacher-bullies-student-for-taking-colorblind-approach-to-classroom-assignment\/\" title=\"Watch: Teacher Bullies Student For Taking Colorblind Approach To Classroom Assignment\">seek answers<\/a> to everyday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-10-best-jim-acosta-moments\/\" title=\"Top 10 &#039;Best&#039; Jim Acosta Moments\">meaningful questions<\/a> through Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>It then critiques what it calls the modern, materialist definition of \u201cscience,\u201d claiming that for about 200 years \u201cscience\u201d has been treated as the only legitimate guide to truth, while faith has been pushed aside as unprovable. The author suggests this framework is under pressure because it forces scientific inquiry into metaphysical blind spots and eventually leaves materialists resorting to unverifiable alternatives (such as multiverses, simulations, or uncaused causes).<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate this challenge, the piece promotes *The Story of Everything*, a documentary associated with the Discovery Institute, which the author says dismantles materialist explanations in areas like astrophysics, chemistry, biology, and data. The claim is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >film shows mainstream theories repeatedly failing<\/a> against evidence and that the remaining explanations require stepping beyond the materialist \u201cgolden rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>it urges Christians (and friends) to see the film and join in discussion afterward,hoping it helps spark a revival of \u201cfaith and reason united in the pursuit of truth,\u201d with positive effects on education and society.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The abrupt uptick of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/04\/16\/us\/politics\/young-men-religion-importance-poll.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gen Z men turning to the church in 2026<\/a> may foreshadow a coming sea change in the age-old struggle between faith and reason.

His popularity among young people was fueled by a quest for evidence that they had been told to demand. But it came anew from Charlie\u2019s insistence that Jesus Christ answers questions that matter every day in very tangible ways \u2014 Who are you? Why are you here? How should you live? That which matters \u2014 that which really matters \u2014 is material and spiritual all at once.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u2019s words stuck because, for the past 200 years, the Academy has taken us on an uncharted expedition toward a new societal destination, ostensibly with evidence guiding the way. \u201cScience,\u201d after all, has become modernity\u2019s preeminent guide \u2014 not just for medicine or space travel, but for politics (political science), human behavior (psychology), culture (social science), and so on. Along the way, our words have been transformed, including the very definition of science.  <\/p>\n<p>Once, science simply meant knowledge about everything. Some knowledge was material (earthly), some was metaphysical (heavenly). But then, post-enlightenment, in what can be best described as materialism\u2019s crusade, \u201cscience\u201d emerged with a golden rule: truth is limited to knowledge gained from our reason, using only observed evidence from the material world. Outside, banished from influence, was the leftover domain of \u201cfaith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Faith, also a repurposed word, came to mean personal convictions about that which could not be materially supported. \u201cFaith\u201d is \u201cscience\u2019s\u201d impotent alter ego. \u201cDemocratic liberalism,\u201d the political outworking of this materialistic view, is now believed possible only because \u201cscience\u201d keeps us a safe distance from religion. Very well. But what if the new \u201cscience\u201d were to paint itself into a metaphysical corner with only one way out: a forced violation of its own golden rule?<\/p>\n<p>With \u201cscience\u201d on the throne, Dr. Stephen Meyer and his team at The Discovery Institute have taken up its challenge, entered its courts, played by its rules, and caught the materialists in a conundrum that is unraveling their ruse.<\/p>\n<p>If Covid didn\u2019t convince us that \u201cscience\u201d wasn\u2019t so objective after all, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestoryofeverything.film\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Story of Everything<\/a><\/em>  will finish the job. Produced by Sypher films and featuring many scientists from the Discovery Institute and others from well-known research universities globally, this new documentary pieces together <em>The Story of Everything<\/em> with such beautiful and graphic concision that you\u2019ll want to show it to anyone who cares about science, or reality.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard some parts of this before, but not in such a rhetorically deep and unified package. The three-part documentary explains why the historic Christian view of origins is the hands-down favorite, without ever making the claim. Meyer\u2019s team plays the materialists\u2019 game, and beats them at it.  <\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Story of Everything | Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pwL3ZKlwEoc?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In the first part of the show, <em>The Story of Everything<\/em> tackles astrophysics. It chronicles attempts by mainstream physicists from Einstein to the present day as they strain to maintain their commitment to materialism. Try as they might, materialistic theory after theory falls to the stubborn evidence. By the end, some outside, uncaused cause cannot be avoided. So much so that the materialists, perhaps without realizing it, resort to their own faith claims: Maybe there\u2019s a multi-dimensional answer. Maybe there are infinite universes outside of our own. Maybe we\u2019re in a simulation. All have one thing in common \u2014 they\u2019re untestable by the materialist\u2019s own golden rule. It\u2019s a bait and switch. Christians were left in the penalty box for the very \u201cfaith\u201d violation that \u201cscience\u201d now requires for its theories to work! <\/p>\n<p>As is so often the case, \u201cscience\u201d is guilty of even more outlandish claims than it boldly accuses religion of. This new \u201cscience\u201d is grasping for a handhold, a foothold, anything to rescue it from the knowledge of God\u2019s necessary existence.<\/p>\n<p>Where other documentaries stop, <em>The Story of Everything <\/em>doubles down. As it moves through chemistry, biology, life, information, and onward, it gives form to a hopeful reality that nothing shows signs of being an accident. Our world teems with meaning. Nature seems to beg us to see what materialism tells us not to think about.   <\/p>\n<p>Now, just over six months after the awakening brought about by Charlie\u2019s assassination, <em>The Story of Everything<\/em> will hit theaters on April 30. The ACCS, as a vanguard voice for classical Christian education, has long prayed for a revival of faith and reason united in the pursuit of Truth. We\u2019ve been laboring in our more than 500 K-12 schools to give students access to the Truth of Christ in a way that matters\u2014 one might say \u201cin a way that is material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, in a way that defies materialism, in pursuit of an encompassing cosmology that will lend meaning to all of life through Christ. The timing of <em>The Story of Everything<\/em> could not be a better spark to ignite the wonder of those who seek answers. I hope over time we will see the return of true science, united with faith, and shaping society for good. <\/p>\n<p>I encourage Christians to take some friends \u2014 believers and not \u2014 and rendezvous afterward to enjoy conversation. Unlike other videos that seek this end, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-upstanding-cameron-crowe\/\" title=\"The upstanding Cameron Crowe\">film balances<\/a> new depth with clarity that I\u2019ve not seen elsewhere. I\u2019m hopeful that<em> The Story of Everything <\/em>will play a part, perhaps as the concertmaster, for a symphony of sanity in our times.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      David Goodwin is the editor of The Classical Difference magazine, the president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, and the co-author of The New York Times no. 1 best seller   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Battle-American-Mind-Uprooting-Miseducation\/dp\/0063215047\">&#8220;Battle for the American Mind.&#8221;<\/a> You can find him at   <a href=\"https:\/\/davidgoodwin.substack.com\">Substack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen Z men\u2019s 2026 church shift may signal a faith-and-reason sea change; Charlie Kirk, amid AI\/\u200bCovid\/\u200bgaslighting, brought Christianity back to public debate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1682,"featured_media":2597045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screen-Shot-2026-04-28-at-11.04.14-AM.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3899,4919,49262,51494,52540],"class_list":["post-2597044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-future","tag-history","tag-philosophy","tag-science-2","tag-storytelling-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screen-Shot-2026-04-28-at-11.04.14-AM.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1682"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2597044"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2597052,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597044\/revisions\/2597052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2597045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2597044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2597044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2597044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
