And yet creationists get up in arms when they are told that they are against science?
The scientific method is based upon the assumption that there are rational physical and predictable causes of physical phenomena. And lo and behold there ARE! Gravity, electromagnetism, radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, etc, etc, etc!
Looking for physical causes to explain physical phenomena has been the most productive means of gaining reliable information about the physical world ever invented.
Looking for supernatural causes to explain physical phenomena has been useless in explaining or predicting physical phenomena.
Looking for terrestrial (Earth based) causes of global climate change have been useless in explaining or predicting physical phenomena as they ignore extraterrestrial (e.g. solar) causes of rising or falling temperatures.
Sometimes earthlings need to accept that there exist things larger than ourselves.
I’m certain that you know this from prior posts but I post it for the understanding of lurkers out there...
Christians and creationists are not anti-science. Much of modern-day science is going the way of the msm, public schools and the left. Ridicule anything contrary to their worldview. Mix truth w/ lies and repeat as often and as loudly as possible. Do not allow spirited and public discussions for God nor the Bible.
The history of science has been a quest to understand how God’s creation works. Most scientists from prior centuries were in a quest to ‘see the mind of God’ and unlock how things work. Most held to a Biblical worldview or at least a belief in God.
Modern-day science 1st co-opted and is now in the midst of completely dis-regarding any/all research by men of Biblical faith. Modern day science is almost completely secular/godless esp. in what is published (to do otherwise is often a career-ender).
Science aka logos is the logic explaining how things work ~ biology study of the logic of living things etc.
The big problem for the secular scientist is in ignoring God! i.e. trying to ignore the super-natural b/c it can’t be explained therefore let’s pretend it doesn’t exist. There will be an accounting for every word at the final judgement.
The other big lie: that creationists just throw up their arms at the tough problems and say a miracle occurred.
If it were not for these Godly men of science and their research the progress of science would be severly curtailed if the field were even to exist at all.
