18 Science doesn t shake my faith Having an explanation No need for God Biblical worldview is most logical explanation Materialism doesn t explain fundamentals Education Unbelief, Religion Ignorance Science doesn t disprove religion Science is actually based on the Christian worldview
19 Science based on Christian Worldview Christianity was needed for the beginning of modern science. --Francis Schaeffer Christianity was absolutely necessary for the rise of modern science. --Eric V. Snow The rise of modern science cannot be explained apart from the Christian view of nature. --Nancy Pearcey
20 Science based on Christian Worldview One God, eternal, changeless No squabbling pantheon of gods No capricious divinities God of Order designed Nature to operate according to logical, comprehensible laws Creator of both Man and Nature made Man in His image, creative and having the ability to understand the logical works of God
21 Quotes from Scientific Pioneers: Nicholas Copernicus Galileo Galilei Johannes Kepler Sir Isaac Newton!
22 How can science shake my faith in God, when science may owe its existence to the Christian worldview? when great scientists saw their study as honoring God? when materialism doesn t provide adequate answers to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
23 The Incompleteness of Logic & Reason Logical thought: Deduction: Induction: It s always worked this way before! All men are mortal. ( = SCIENCE! ) Socrates is a man. Socrates is mortal.
24 Problems with Induction Generalizations cannot be proven by repeated testing Merely give a possible answer, never provide proof Our data is always taken from a limited subset, so a counterexample could appear at any time Science is inductive, all this applies!
25 Twin Problems with Deduction Must start with unproven Axioms No deductive system can prove its own assumptions (which includes its axioms and rules for proving) Requires FAITH at a fundamental level Mathematical Game? Arbitrary choice of assumptions Relativism, no absolute truth
26 The Bottom Line Inductive logic, like science, gives possible explanations, not proof. Deductive logic, to even start, requires induction (or revelation)
27 TRUTH We can now PROVE that some True statements are unprovable. GÖDEL S THEOREM Logic proves its own limits Still very useful, but within limits Faith is essential, reason is not enough
28 Are all worldviews equally good? See where it leads!
29 by their fruits Matthew 7:16-20 (NASB) 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
30 The Downfall of Materialism In an atheistic materialistic universe, all is determined or chaotic/probabilistic Meaningless Thought becomes meaningless Belief in materialism is self-contradictory
31 Atheistic Materialism
32 Studied for myself: Belief in God is logical! My previous doubt was due to Peer Pressure Back to my story
33 EGW, Steps to Christ, pp : God desires man to exercise his reasoning powers; and the study of the Bible will strengthen and elevate the mind as no other study can. Yet we are to beware of deifying reason, which is subject to the weakness and infirmity of humanity.
34 EGW, Steps to Christ, pp : to all eternity men may be ever searching, ever learning, and yet never exhaust the treasures of His wisdom, His goodness, and His power.
35 Thank you for listening!
