"Physics, chemistry, and chaotic phenomena on planets in favorable orbits," is about as short as I'd want to go but even that is just asking for it.

From my Creationist perspective these realities -- physics, chemistry, and chaotic phenomena on planets in favorable orbits-- are evidence of a Creator. Considering the boundaries that these laws permit, there is a definite order within chaos. The laws of physics and chemistry allow for order, that without those laws would be nonexistant.

The early creationist scientists believed the discovery of these "laws" were like a puzzle that our Creator laid out for our creative intelligence to search out. Because they viewed them as evidences of design, they were able to make leaps of logic that helped lay the groundwork for the technology we have today.

If a person takes the time to read through the history of how we have come to the advanced scientific place we are at today, they would, if intellectually honest, lay it on the backs of creation scientists.

1. Most of the greatest scientists of the past 1000 years were Christians and creationists.
2. To these scientists, Christianity was the driving force behind their discoveries.
3. The Christian world view gave birth and impetus to modern science.

Denial would be unbecoming.

The West's period of least progress in science was 500 years of virtual standstill while the Arabs invented algebra and the Chinese invented gunpowder. That period, the Dark Ages, was also the absolute triumph of religion as the controlling force in life, politics, and everything.

The Renaissance was in no small part a liberation from the rule of religion over thought. It was the rebirth of western science.

Hell of a good idea.
