I share your respect for science, the scientific method, and the achievements which have made for a relatively comfortable world. It's interesting that many of the earliest scientists were devout Christians (Kepler, Newton, Pascal...) and not simply due to the fact they had to agree with the religious authorities of their day (Galileo).

Both Christians and atheists use science in support of their case. Therefore it takes a bit of examining to see how science is being used, and whose case is better supported. Hopefully this approach will reveal that it is better to base our beliefs about God and the Bible on what we do know, rather than on what we don't know.

 

1. IS SCIENCE AN ALTERNATIVE TO RELIGION?
Science, or at least scientific materialism, is almost the dominant religion of our culture. What do scientists have to say about this?

2. WHAT IS SCIENCE?
One should not expect more from science than do scientists. Hear science defined by Einstein, Hawking, Wickramasinghe, and Crick.

3. WHAT IS CHANCE?
Chance is the focal point of atheistic cosmology and evolution. Is chance an ambiguous creative effect that neither has nor needs a prior cause?

4. WHY CONSIDER THE BIBLE?
If one believes in science and scientific investigation, this chapter should prove an irresistible challenge to either prove or disprove the Bible.

5. WHAT IS TRUTH?
A goal of both science and Scripture is to provide us with an accurate description of the world around us; a true picture of reality. This is only possible if there is indeed such a thing as truth.

6. IS THERE A GOD?
This is the cosmological argument for the existence of God, using the origin of the universe to methodically reveal the character of God. This shows that belief in God is rational, logical, and reasonably accounts for the universe around us.

7. WHERE DID THE EARTH COME FROM?
If you doubt there could be parallels between Scripture and science, I challenge you to look at the summary at the end of this chapter.

8. WHERE DID MAN COME FROM?
(The first of ten chapters on the subject.)
If you still hold to eighteen-century Darwinism, you haven't kept up with modern atheistic explanations for the origin of man. More than creation vs. evolution, the argument has become science vs. evolution and many anti-Christians are leading the fight.

9. INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY
IDT is a scientific approach to origins that is devoid of both evolution's materialist philosophy and creation's premise of a supernatural God. Strictly adhering to facts in evidence, IDT evaluates whether or not any particular subject of study is the result of intentional design.
