God Doesn’t Limit Himself

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
There’s no evidence that the scientific method is the most important way God reveals reality to humanity. Some people claim it is the most important way, but they can’t prove their claim. God doesn’t restrict Himself to the scientific method when He’s revealing reality and truth about the material world. For example, God has always used other ways to impart revelation. God imparts knowledge through intuition, dreams, or a word of knowledge. He sometimes intervenes in the scientific process.

Floating Abstraction Fallacy

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Sometimes, scientists think they’re testing the big-bang-billions-of-years-molecules-to-humankind story because they experiment and observe. But the story floats over the science. It floats over the experiments and the observations. Then they deceptively call the story “science.” It’s a floating abstraction fallacy. We can’t test either the ungodly story or the revealed account in the way we test a shelf design or an automotive design. However, we can test the revealed account spiritually by seeking God’s mind and allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us. On the other hand, we can’t repeatedly physically test and observe either of these.

Blurring the Line

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Real science produces useful solutions and products, but there’s far too much science that produces nothing anyone could use. This science works differently from the science that allows us to make cars, airplanes, or cell phones. It only subverts minds and blurs the line between truth and conceptual dreams. Scientists make up stories about what they can’t observe, but they can’t use the stories to make a useful product. They tell stories about the distant past, the spiritual realm, or the human mind. However, ungodly scientists can’t possibly test those stories to see whether they’re true. They can’t test whether the big-bang-billions-of-years-molecules-to-humankind story happened. That story competes with the revealed Creation-Flood account that fits what we observe better than the godless story does.

Science of Imagination

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
God Uses the Scientific Method
Here we make a sharp distinction between helpful science and science that helps no one. One kind of science produces products and solutions. The other kind of science doesn’t. Godless stories and speculations don’t produce solutions to problems, nor do they create useful products. Since God revealed the scientific method, God reveals reality through the scientific method to anyone who’ll use this method. He inspires groups like Patterns of Evidence, ICR, CMI, and AIG so we can find out about His revelation. However, He never discredits the Bible with the scientific method as ungodly thinkers claim.
He doesn’t restrict this revelation to those who follow Christ. So the method works, but the problems enter if scientists distort the method. Ungodly science can only be pragmatic, so it’s not useful for making claims about reality but only for practical solutions. A scientist can do science without God, but the scientist is then living like a brute beast, incapable of rational thought. The ungodly scientist can make things that work, but can’t reason beyond that without God. Later, we find out that some of those practical solutions are destructive or dangerous. If we want examples of this problem, we only need to watch the ads on TV for class action suits against drug companies. Even when scientists observe and test in the present and apply the resulting discoveries in what appears to be a useful way, unexpected problems arise.

Evolutionist Presuppositions

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Evolutionistic Scientific Method
- Adopt the group-held paradigm (evolutionism) as your paradigm or else your career dies.
- Experiment and observe. [Experimentation and observation are the only parts of the evolutionistic scientific method with potential for knowing.]
- Filter observations by the group-held paradigm.
- Create assumptions that fit into the group-held paradigm.
- Tell a story as a speculative explanation of the observations.
- Make sure the story fits into the group-held paradigm.
- Call the story a “scientific theory.”
- Defend the group-held paradigm from any scrutiny.
- Create just-so stories to explain away any evidence against the original group-held paradigm.
- Call the just-so stories “evidence for the group-held paradigm.”
- Continue to build and fortify the group-held paradigm.
- Censor challenges to the group-held paradigm.
The scientist must endorse big bang, billions of years, no Genesis Flood, and molecules-to-humanity. The scientist must also endorse naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism.
Unfortunately, this paradigm regulates thought and limits science to the paradigm. And yet, some people proclaim the paradigm to be the backbone of science, especially medicine and biology. Only scientists who accept this paradigm can belong to the “real scientist club.” Historically, anyone who has questioned the paradigm has suffered, and Bill Nye referred to this closed-minded protectionism during his debate with Ken Ham. Bill rationalized a defense of this biased practice. According to Bill, those who question the group-held paradigm can’t be scientists, and he’s merely reflecting the attitude of the insiders of the scientific establishment with its censorship and message control.

Most Scientists Don’t Follow Christ

A scientist can follow a scientific method that doesn’t lean on human understanding but that looks to God for His knowledge and wisdom.
<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Godly Scientific Method
- The fear (awe and deep respect) for God is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.
- Confess the fallen nature of human minds.
- Ask God for direction and wait for God’s answer.
- Do background research according to God’s leading.
- Ask God to help understand the observations. Wait for God’s revelation rather than just making up a hypothesis.
- If God seems to indicate an experiment, experiment. If God seems to indicate further research, return to step 3.
- Record the results without bias.
- Analyze the data without assumptions by asking God to guide into sound thinking.
- Seek God while using true premises and sound reasoning to conclude.
- As much as possible, communicate results fully and without bias or dogmatism.
- Look to God for correction and further revelation.
These steps will vary widely depending on the Holy Spirit’s leading. Scientists can use these steps or this method. However, those who study the Bible can also use this method. Any decision-maker can use this method. God revealed something about the scientific method to godly scientists, but He still has much to teach humanity about the scientific method. Besides, God uses science to reveal Himself and His creation to humanity. To put it another way, God uses scientific observation to reveal reality to anyone who’ll listen to Him. In mercy, He even reveals reality to those who refuse to acknowledge Him or thank Him.

Methodological Naturalism

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Ungodly Scientific Method
- Ask a question biased by ungodliness.
- Do background research biased by ungodliness.
- Construct a hypothesis biased by ungodliness.
- Test the hypothesis by experimenting, and allow ungodly bias to guide the experiment.
- Record the results biased by ungodliness.
- Interpret the data biased by ungodliness.
- Draw a conclusion biased by ungodliness.
- Communicate the results biased by ungodliness.
Notice how the steps follow a mindset of ungodliness that guides each step in the process. Though, as a general rule, scientists don’t use the word “ungodliness.” They use a word like “secular,” “naturalistic,” “materialistic,” or “mainstream” instead. They use these words instead of the word “ungodliness” to hide the bias. In fact, the terms “methodological naturalism” or “scientific naturalism” are the most widespread terms used to hide the bias toward ungodliness.

Ontic Fallacy

God gave us scientific method, but we must be careful that we don’t begin to worship God’s gifts rather than worshiping God. The Bible is without error. The creation is what it is without error. There are no conflicts between the Bible and the creation. However, humans automatically process thoughts about the Bible and the creation, and human bias (everyone has it) can influence our thinking. For instance, many scientists start from a bias that presupposes that God does nothing, the earth is billions of years old, and the stories of evolutionism happened.
<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Scientific Method based on the Ontic Fallacy
Ask a question without any assumption or preconception.
Do background research without any assumption or preconception.
Construct a hypothesis without any assumption or preconception.
Test the hypothesis by experimenting without any error, assumption, or preconception.
Record the results without any human bias or error.
Interpret the data without any assumption or preconception.
Conclude using sound deductive reasoning and zero assumptions.
Communicate the results fully, without any bias.
Some thinkers imagine that these steps are exactly the way scientists do science, and some of these thinkers imagine that scientists don’t assume anything. They feel that scientists have no biases. There’s a problem. Totally objective and error-free science doesn’t happen since no one can get outside of himself or herself, and all humans have biases based on worldviews. Humans make assumptions and think that the assumptions are part of reality. Without divine revelation, no one can know that a premise is true. Without a true premise, no one can reason rationally. So no one can reason rationally without divine revelation.

God Created Science

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
God has revealed these three basic truths needed for science:
- laws of logic
- mathematical laws
- the regularity of nature
These three basic truths make it possible to do science and the laws of logic, mathematical laws, and the regularity of nature come from God. God reveals them, and early Bible-believing scientists established the scientific method using these revelations, but since ungodly thinkers refuse to acknowledge God, they have to assume these three basic truths, or they can’t do science. (http://creation.com/biblical-roots-of-modern-science)
While some people credit Sir Francis Bacon with inventing the scientific method, it was actually God Who originally revealed some things about the scientific method. And God continues to reveal reality using His scientific method. But sadly, ungodly people have distorted the scientific method. As a result, we can become confused about what’s known and what’s not known. Different scientists use different methods, and students believe all sorts of things about the scientific method. We’ll go over several scientific methods starting with an impossible scientific method. And though scientists rarely follow a numbered series of steps, for the sake of clarity, we showed the steps in a numbered order.
