as the basis of science is that the universe has orderly, reasonble, and discoverable rules - taken from the Judaeo-Christian view of creation.

Science must assume that there is some order. If there were not some order, you could not even depend on the sun rising each morning. False argument.

Historically, also, scientists have not only used Christian assumptions as the basis of their discoveries, but have matched their discoveries back to the Christian view of creation.

Maybe that is why you said "Historically, much of science has been wrong"?

Sounds like you’re one of those that I was talking about that has the “reject God” chip on his shoulder.

He is correct in what he says, historically most of science has been and will be shown to be wrong.

Examples such as the Pythagorean thereom and Newts law of gravitational acceleration (on earth) are the exceptions that make the rule.

Ignorance of scientific history on display.

And arrogance in the assumption of my “rejecting science”.

Obviously, no one with a God centered worldview could have any use for science, could they, Mr Science?

Liberal/leftist = arrogance + ignorance

Good day.

MrB: as the basis of science is that the universe has orderly, reasonble, and discoverable rules - taken from the Judaeo-Christian view of creation.

CW: Science must assume that there is some order. If there were not some order, you could not even depend on the sun rising each morning. False argument.

How is that a *false argument*? MrB's statement was that the basis for science that the universe is orderly, reasonable, and discoverable, has it's roots in the Judeo-Christian view of creation, not that there wasn't order. You didn't even address the comment he made.

If the statement is false, please provide sources to back up your contention and demonstrate where that worldview came from.
