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.

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.

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.

<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.

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.

<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.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

The method of Francis Bacon mentions proof, and proof indicates a true premise, which is only available by divine revelation. Consequently, everywhere we try to find true knowledge, we run into the same need for God. Of course, God uses intuition and observation to reveal reality to humanity. Because of God’s goodness, science has provided practical solutions. However, science took the credit. But God gives any knowledge of truth that we gain through the methods of science even if scientists who receive this knowledge deny that God gave it.

Deduction reasons to true conclusions with true premises and valid form. The trouble is getting the true premise as a starting point for reasoning.

Induction is the only way to provide true premises through intuition.

Information must come from somewhere.

• God (truth)
• human worldview (deception)
• demonic influence (deception)

Truth only comes from God.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Induction is a form of reasoning distinct from deduction. Deduction can lead to knowledge of truth since, with true premises and valid form, the conclusion must be true. Deduction doesn’t add any information to the premises during reasoning. Deduction never produces new information. However, induction adds information to the premises through intuition. Since information must come from somewhere, there must be a source for this information coming through intuition. Here, we again have three sources for the information available through intuition: God, the human worldview, or demonic influence. Godless scientists can’t know which of these three provide the information. So godless induction only hints at a direction for investigation or suggests a hypothesis. When scientists attempt to use the human mind to reason beyond what they observe, the result is uncertain. They must add made-up stuff to get beyond what they observe. That’s why scientists observing the same created world infer radically different conclusions from the same observations.

Science is a gift from God. Humans often turn God’s gifts into idols and worship them and depend on them. Much of science has gone wild and left the foundation of truth because of the philosophy of naturalism. Taking that philosophy as an axiom, scientists come up with unworkable and unprofitable ideas. Darwin brought us a false “science” called evolutionism that continued a godless trend and has led to the current craziness we now see all around us.

Scientific Methods

“What passes for scientific methodology is a misrepresentation of what scientists do or ought to do.” ~ P. B. Medawar, Induction and Intuition in Scientific Thought

Contrary to popular belief, there’s no agreement on a single scientific method among philosophers of science, and most scientists could care less about the philosophy of science. If we search the Internet, we find several systems for scientific method, and many of the websites break scientific methods into distinct steps. In general, scientists don’t work that way.

“The definition of ‘science’ has haunted philosophers of science in the 20th century. The approach of Bacon, who is considered the founder of the scientific method, was pretty straightforward: observation → induction → hypothesis → test hypothesis by experiment → proof/disproof → knowledge.” ~ http://creation.com/its-not-science

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

So we see that something strange has happened in the scientific community, but science has never been necessarily accurate even though it’s had a reputation for accuracy. Scientists made pragmatic gains, and those pragmatic gains provided a reputation for accuracy and knowledge. However, pragmatic gains can’t establish truth.
