Has Science evolved? part one...

The unfortunate answer to the above question is yes... And, much like the Law of Entropy states, it has not been for the better...

You would think that after years of experience, of dedicated and deep probing by scientists that the mysteries of life would have been solved by now...

You could think that, but you would be wrong...

Now just to get this out of the way... I love Science, I would even go as far as stating that I do believe in the fundamentals of it... I also love God, I would even go as far as stating that I do believe in hte fundamentals of him... At therin lies no problem...

Throughout my teenage life and into adulthood, people have plagued me with the same question over and over again... "How can you be so involved with Science and with God?" While my response may have evolved through the years, what I believe about it has not...

So now, I would like to share with you my 3 answers to this question... (In my foundational order)

1. God wrote the laws of Science... As we understand the laws and ways of our universe, we can understand the handiwork of God... God gave us a command to subdue and have dominion over the earth... So it would make sense that God would allow us a way to organize, hence Science...

2. As Science delves deeper, they find order... The farther into the macro-cosmos we go, the more of the same stuff we find, the smaller into the micro-cosmos we go the more detailed it gets... Both extremes point to continutity... Everything we are finding out there is the same stuff we are finiding out there, than the same thing that started what is out there started what was here... And as we look under the microscope and we keep probing we find that there is an even greater organizational structure there than on the macro-level... The Bible teaches that God created everything (That would be the macro-cosmos) and that Jesus Christ holds everything together (micro-cosmos)...

3. God fills in where science does not have a scientific answer... This last answer is the one that I have recently added to my arsenal... The first point I want to make is notice that I said a "scientific" answer... A "scientific" answer is an answer that has been proven, tried and true, via the Scientific Process... Not something that is assumed, guessed, hypothesized, etc... The second point I want to make is that notice I did not say the inverse of this statement (Science fills in where God does not have a religious answer...), because I do not believe that is true... Prime example... Cosmology... What happened at the beginning of time? Science is trying to answer that question... The problem with that is that there is no way to apply the Scientific Process to it (and if there was, give that guy a Nobel Prize)... And if you cannot apply the Scientific Process to it, then it cannot be Science and it must be a belief, and who better to answer that question than God? But yet science wants to answer that question... Why? That is in the next post...
