Episode 335: Gattaca

Popcorn Theology

How are Christians to live in a world where humans can be genetically engineered and discrimination is down to a science? Using the world of Gattaca, the hosts discuss the ethical use of genetic engineering, how the gospel frees you to live in God's favor, and why a Christian worldview is necessary to holdback the excesses of man's tampering with nature. So put your fate in the hands of your trust podcast hosts and not the Hollywood director.
