The Bible and Science: Part 3

You have heard the argument that you can not prove God's existence through science. Skeptics of the supernatural will suggest that this is proof that there can be no God. If you have been following my blog posts, you will immediately recognize the flawed logic in this way of thinking as the scientific method cannot be applied to the God of the Bible. God is not a part of the creation; He is the creator.

Mainstream science teaches that if we cannot use the scientific method, the matter in question cannot be scientific. And if it is not scientific, it cannot be real. First, God is scientific by a traditional definition, but not by contemporary teachings. Second, although God is not subject to the scientific method, His creation is subject to the laws of nature. Thus, it is possible to measure the variables within nature to determine if they could have happened through chance.

In my book, 10 Irrefutable Proofs of Creation, I list ten scientific truths that can only be explained through design. For instance, if matter cannot be created or destroyed through natural processes, where did matter come from? If all material things move towards disorder, how could anything orderly exist? Is the universe necessary for mankind to exist or is mankind necessary for the universe to exist? These are just a few of the topics that we need to consider when wrestling with the existence of God.

These are fascinating questions that the secular scientists cannot answer. They undermine the intelligence of the Christian; however, it is the Christian that has the answers to some of life's most challenging questions. Therefore, it is intellectually dishonest to conclude that someone who believes in God is not intelligent. The brilliance of the theistic scholars and scientists allows them to debate the most convincing secular scientists without hesitation. The result is the magnificence of our Creator God on display.
