“Christians should not be “fine with materialistic science”.
Science can only be materialistic only material things can be quanitatively measured
“That position denies the existence of our creator, God.”
Wrong. Studying the material world, God’s creation, in no way denies God.
You are mixing up the attempt to use science to promote a materialist atheistic philosophy with science which cannot and does not address God directly in any way.
This actually is what the liberals want you to do. They want to set faith vs science and vice versa. When in fact, science is ours. It is one of the many triumphs of Christian history.
Science is the attempt to try to explain how God works. The two are not incompatible. Of course mortal man will never find all the answers.
And you are mixing the methodology of science with the philosophy. I suggest you watch the video I posted after my first post.
An infinitely old universe “would relieve us of the necessity of understanding the origin of matter at any finite time in the past.” Robert Dicke, Princeton 1965
They exclude the idea of a creator causing them to cling to incorrect models. This is simply so that they, as stated by Paul in Romans, don't have to consider the possibility of a creator. Science suffers since their presuppositions lead them astray.
Their presuppositions are religious in nature. They believe that nature is material and have included that belief in their methodology.
The presuppositions of naturalism also cause science to cling to a belief in macro-evolution and spontaneous creation of life even though the math is not on their side.
When confronted with the lack of time required for evolution to have produced the current world, Dawkins resorted to positing the existence of extra-terrestrials depositing life on our planet. He punctuated his unsubstantiated assertion by further positing that those extra-terrestrials had evolved in some distant place. Thus, we have religion posing as science in order to deny the possibility of a creating God.
