About this episode

Dr. John G. West discusses the original meaning of the Declaration of Independence and its biblical and scientific support.

The Declaration of Independence proclaims that “all men are created equal” and “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” For generations, those hallowed words inspired not only Americans but millions around the globe. Yet today, many Americans are skeptical or confused about the Declaration’s key claims. Dr. John G. West will join us to explore the original meaning of the Declaration and show how its propositions drew support from both the Bible and early modern science.
