<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was a man with great navigation skill and courage, but some historians wrongly credit his skill and courage to his humanity. Contradicting this error, Christopher Columbus rightly credited it to God. As evidence, consider the following quotes from the writings of Christopher Columbus:

“Who can doubt that this fire was not merely mine, but also the Holy Spirit who encouraged me with a radiance of marvelous illumination from His sacred Scriptures, . . . urging me to press forward?”

“It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from there to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures . . . encouraging me to continue to press forward and without ceasing for a moment they now encourage me make haste.”

“Our Lord Jesus desired to perform a very obvious miracle in the voyage to the Indies, to comfort me and the whole people of God. I spent seven years in the royal court, discussing the matter with many persons of great reputation and wisdom in all the arts; and in the end they concluded that it was all foolishness, so they gave it up.”

“With a hand that could be felt, the Lord opened my mind to the fact that it would be possible . . . and He opened my will to desire to accomplish that project . . . The Lord purposed that there should be something miraculous in this matter of the voyage to the Indies.”

“For the execution of the journey to the Indies I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. It is simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah had prophesied.”

“No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service. The working out of all things has been assigned to each person by our Lord, but it all happens according to His sovereign will even though He gives advice. He lacks nothing that it is in the power of men to give Him. Oh what a gracious Lord, who desires that people should perform for Him those things for which He holds Himself responsible! Day and night moment by moment, everyone should express to Him their most devoted gratitude.”

Ungodly historians have rewritten much history in a desperate attempt to discredit Cristopher Columbus. Their attacks aren’t really against Christopher Columbus, but they are attempting to set up ungodly ideology by tearing down anything that might stand in the way. Where details of history don’t exist, historians have made assumptions to put Christopher Columbus in a bad light. However, Christopher Columbus was imperfect in the same way those who now seek to judge him are flawed human beings, sold into sin. But Christopher Columbus communicated with Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit taught him and corrected him, moving him toward righteousness and holiness.

My prayers seem to be more of an attitude than anything else. I indulge in very little lip service, but ask the Great Creator silently, daily, and often many times a day, to permit me to speak to Him through the three great kingdoms of the world which He has created—the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms—to understand their relations to each other, and our relations to them and to the Great God who made all of us. I ask Him daily and often momently to give me wisdom, understanding, and bodily strength to do His will; hence I am asking and receiving all the time. ~ George Washington Carver

God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain, I would be helpless. ~ George Washington Carver

Man, who needed a purpose, a mission, to keep him alive, had one. He could be . . . God’s co-worker . . . My purpose alone must be God’s purpose . . . As I worked on projects which fulfilled a real human need; forces were working through me which amazed me. I would often go to sleep with an apparently insoluble problem. When I woke, the answer was there. Why, then, should we who believe in Christ be so surprised at what God can do with a willing man in a laboratory? Some things must be baffling to the critic who has never been born again. ~ George Washington Carver

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
The point of all these examples is to show that science exists outside of a formal scientific method, and God reveals through this method too since human rules don’t restrict God. Instead, He gives knowledge when He sees that it’s needed, and He supplies this knowledge in the way that He chooses to supply it.

George Washington Carver

Consider George Washington Carver’s scientific method:

“Man, who needed a purpose, a mission, to keep him alive, had one. He could be . . . God’s co-worker . . . My purpose alone must be God’s purpose . . . As I worked on projects which fulfilled a real human need; forces were working through me which amazed me. I would often go to sleep with an apparently insoluble problem. When I woke, the answer was there. Why, then, should we who believe in Christ be so surprised at what God can do with a willing man in a laboratory? Some things must be baffling to the critic who has never been born again.” ~ George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver used the scientific method of working as a partner with God. As Christians, we work as partners with Christ. So when the answer to a problem comes, we don’t take the credit; we give God the glory.

“God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain, I would be helpless.” ~ George Washington Carver

From this quote, we see that George Washington Carver expected divine revelation in the laboratory, and he didn’t consider himself the source of any knowledge. As a result, he could do amazing things since he found true premises as God revealed the nature of the created world to him. Of course, ungodly persuaders aren’t happy with George Washington Carver’s method of doing science and predictably try to denigrate him and belittle the many scientific advances God accomplished through him.

God also reveals reality to those who refuse to acknowledge Him. However, without acknowledging God, they can’t have certainty about anything because, in a worldview without God, there’s no distinction between revelation and made-up stuff. As a result, everything becomes made-up stuff in such a worldview. This lack of discernment motivates ungodly thinkers to become dogmatic about the “made-up stuff” they like. It motivates them to oppose anything that they don’t like. They can’t know the difference between truth and error, so they believe in the stories of evolutionism with the same enthusiasm as they believe a real, material world exists.

“…if we do not take Christ seriously in our everyday life, all is a failure because it is an everyday affair.” ~ George Washington Carver

We now understand more fully why the human mind can’t work correctly without the presence of the Holy Spirit. So, we know why George Washington Carver walked with Jesus Christ every day, moment-by-moment. Because of this walk, God continually unveiled reality to George Washington Carver. And God is willing to unveil reality to every human being. We can have this relationship with Christ right now through Jesus Christ.

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.” ~ George Washington Carver

“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.” ~ George Washington Carver

“My prayers seem to be more of an attitude than anything else. I indulge in very little lip service, but ask the Great Creator silently, daily, and often many times a day, to permit me to speak to Him through the three great kingdoms of the world which He has created—the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms—to understand their relations to each other, and our relations to them and to the Great God who made all of us. I ask Him daily and often momently to give me wisdom, understanding, and bodily strength to do His will; hence I am asking and receiving all the time.” ~ George Washington Carver

Lest we think this revelation came to George Washington Carver only through observation and not through the Bible, we consider the following quote:

“The secret of my success? It is simple. It is found in the Bible.” ~ George Washington Carver

We need to remember that God reveals reality to both believers and unbelievers. For example, King Nebuchadnezzar was no believer, but he received revelation of the future in a dream. And Pharaoh wasn’t a believer, yet he received the revelation of coming events to save Egypt from famine. Both of them had to get the interpretation from a godly person, though.

We’ve already looked at several scientific breakthroughs that came in dreams. A naturalist might make up a naturalistic explanation for this inspiration. However, the naturalist is just making up a story and calling the story “an explanation.” Made-up stuff can be convincing, but it’s not a valid way to determine truth.

We’ve seen that scientists don’t always progress through planned experiments. For instance, we know that it’s not uncommon for a scientist to try to find out about one thing when God reveals something else. Of course, the human mind often twists God’s pure revelation, and when the human mind distorts pure revelation, we hear speculations like the big-bang-billions-of-years-no-Flood-molecules-to-humankind story. So, to avoid this distorted thinking, God commands us to acknowledge Him in all our ways rather than leaning on our brute-beast minds. When we acknowledge Him, He’ll direct our paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Though some won’t follow it, God provides this process for science, engineering, Bible-study, worship, finance, politics, marketing, and every avenue of life.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Scripture

Besides dreams and supposed accidents, here are some scientific discoveries God gave through Scripture:

• Hygienic rules for health and medical safety
• Dietary restrictions for health reasons
• Restrictions limiting water supplies to safe sources
• Quarantine of contagious diseases
• Washing in running water when dealing with disease
• More stars than we can count
• The earth floating freely in space
• Dangerous prescriptions forbidden
• Spherical earth
• Living organisms reproducing after the created kinds
• The perfect dimensions of a ship or other water vessel
• The water cycle
• Springs in the oceans
• Life in the blood
• One race, the human race

Although scientists and culture originally rejected these biblical revelations, scientists later confirmed them by observation.

God reveals reality through science. Many scientific discoveries are chalked up to chance, but God revealed the reality that led to technology that works. This quote lists some discoveries that happened “by chance.” If the truth were known, almost all scientific “discoveries” happen as scientists stumble around trying one thing and then another. God is in control of it all.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Accidentally?

From God’s view, nothing is accidental, for although God allows us to decide, He also reveals that He’s sovereign. And He allows us to experience the results of our decisions, but, in the end, He directs the results.
