Spencer’s Agnosticism and the Evolution of Faith
Rev. Charles of Billings explores Spencer’s agnosticism not as disbelief in God but in knowing God's nature. The sermon links Spencer to Ecclesiastes, notes evolution reshaped Bible reading, and credits Spencer with shaping modern thought while warning against forcing fits. He praises Spencer as a pioneer reconciling science and religion, yet notes tensions between his method and broader religious insight.
