2 What Issues? Hot button issues Days of creation; age of universe Darwinism Have a framework: biblically-based framework for science Destroy the opponent? Or humbly love him?

7 I. Scientific Law
8 Regularity regular regula (Latin) ordered according to some established rule, law, principle, or type (Webster s Dictionary) = rule We depend on it!
9 Scientific Laws Newton's laws Dalton's law Kirchhoff's laws And more!
10 Reliability of Law reliability moon probes astronauts electric lights millions of years heart beat DNA duplication in cell division galaxies
11 Sameness of Law all places omnipresent all times eternal not changing immutable
12 Characteristics of Law Immaterial Invisible Omnipotent Truthful Transcendent Immanent characteristics of God Why?
13 God s Rule (seasons) Genesis 8:22 (God's promise to Noah): While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. A good thing!
14 God s Rule (weather) Psalm 147:17-18: He [God] hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? He sends out his words, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. control
15 Problems with Miracle? Miracles impossible? breaking law? outside law? attested in the Bible no God s word not broken God s rule is comprehensive
16 Miracle in a Biblical Framework surprising us contradicting our guess about law harmony with Biblical teaching conforming to God s plan
17 Is the Law Personal? law law-giver rational only persons can reason language-like only persons use language
18 II. Understanding God's Law
19 God's Speech (= Law) Language involves: speaker word breath power to send out and effect Father Word
20 The Word Who Is God In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
21 God Ruling Father Word God as source. creational law expression of the Father in the Word rational, articulate, harmonious
22 The Spirit of God Language involves: speaker word breath power to send out and effect Father Word Spirit
23 Spirit and Breath By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. (Ps. 33:6) Hebrew: ruach also, Spirit
24 God Ruling through His Spirit Father Word creational law expression of the Father in the Word through the Spirit under perfect control
25 God Exists in Three Persons Father Spirit Word Father The Son = Word GOD Spirit
26 Implications for Science Father The Son = Word GOD articulate, rational, harmonious personal: you can understand one coherent universe Spirit under powerful control blessings
27 III. Natural Disasters and Evil
28 Good and Evil God created the world good (Gen. 1:31) Humanity rebelled (the fall, Gen. 3:6) Sin has effects (Gen. 4:8) God curses the ground (effects on nature, Gen. 3:17-18) Disaster shows need for redemption (Rom. 8:20-25) Disaster reminds us of judgment (Luke 13:1-5)
29 IV. Harmonies in Law
30 Reflection of Harmony original harmony derivative harmony Father love image on earth Son Wonderful!
31 God's Dwelling in Christ "... and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). (Matt. 1:23) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:14) But he was speaking about the temple of his body. (John 2:21)
32 Pattern of the Universe in universe BIG in tabernacle little model Image!
33 Proportion Holy Most Holy image cubits Proportions express an image
34 Proportions in the Universe BIG proportions? universe proportions here little model tabernacle
35 Physical Proportions Car travel: time distance 1 hr. 2 hr. 3 hr. 4 hr. 50 mi. 100 mi. 150 mi. 200 mi. Proportions-- distance : time distance in harmony with time Speed = distance/time = 50 miles/hour speed = distance:time = d:t harmony Go!
36 Acceleration Plane travel: time 1 sec. 2 sec. 3 sec. 4 sec. speed 20 ft/s 40 ft/s 60 ft/s 80 ft/s Proportions-- speed : time Harmony-- speed in harmony with time acceleration = speed/time = 20 ft/s/s acceleration = s:t = d:t:t
37 Newton's Second Law F = ma force = mass X acceleration force is proportional to mass harmony force is proportional to acceleration harmony acceleration is a proportionality: a = d:t:t harmony
38 Math in Physics speed = distance : time harmony The World Math number simple motion proportion general motion calculus forces differential equations physics, engineering, and hard sciences
39 Maxwell s Equations For Light and Electricity finds double-depth proportionalities in time and space symmetric Aμ = in 4 dim. proportion 4πjμ c electric charge speed of light (proportion) represents electric and magnetic force four separate equations beautiful symmetry
40 Why? The first point is that the enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and that there is no rational explanation for it. --Eugene Wigner It is not at all natural that laws of nature exist, much less that man is able to discover them.
41 God's Explanation By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. Ps. 33:6 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the Why! heavens. Prov. 3:19
42 V. Practicing Love in Science
43 Practicing Love in Science Motive of love: Understand God's ways Honesty: Seek God, not a substitute Loving others: help others to see Preparation: let God be God motive
44 The Image of God in Science GOD image man Gen. 1:26-28 God loves Capacity to love God knows Capacity for truth Capacity for science Capacity to love God in science
45 Integrity in Science Knowing God Ideas for law knowing in love loving God's mind loving to know theory making Subordinate to God loving to submit God can surprise Experiment loving surprises
46 God's Greatness In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. -- Ps. 19:4-6
47 God's Law to Us The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. -- Ps. 19:7-8
48 God Showing Himself Romans 1:19-20 Psalm 19:1-2 Romans 1:21-23
49 Psalm 19:1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
