science
/sī′əns/
noun
The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
The Bible is indeed a science book
The best science book
For when God Himself identifies, describes, and explains His creation, theorization is no longer required
I think many people would think since science is built on experimentation and since the Bible proclaims propositions, the Bible is therefore not scientific.
But even science uses baseline assumptions in order to operate. Whereas science could use the baseline of God's Word to experiment with the world, today's scientific enterprise uses their own assumptions which have no collective justification.
It assumes 'natural laws' such as
consistency in
natural causes of events in the world. Instead of God ontologically causing everything directly with His power and precisely by His will, science assumes one physical event can cause another, and then it uses the logically fallacious scientific method to confirm its hypothesis in experiments. When it is all boiled down, it is clear there is a blatantly unjustified assumption in the scientific world about causation. We
observe events happen everyday, often with reliability and predictability. But correlation in events does not equal causation. One after another does not mean one caused another. One always after another does not mean one caused another. One always after another in your experience does not mean one always after another.
If an explosion occurs when chemical X is mixed with chemical Y, the scientist may conclude the explosion is caused by the mixture of the chemicals. Once repeated across the world by many of the 'world's finest methodical guessers' aka scientists, it becomes considered scientific fact that the mixture of chemical x and chemical y causes explosion. Scripture and rational thought across the world are then judged by this scientific fact. The scientific fact is held as mankind's finest, most trustworthy knowledge. However it is obvious the entire scientific process was repeated use of the logical fallacy "affirming the consequent" - fundamentally invalid reasoning. The world worships mankind's conclusions from absurdity.
In reality, clearly it would be God causing the proposed chemicals X and Y to exist. He may simultaneously cause an explosion to occur when He makes these two chemicals mix. However, He can cause the chemicals to collide without causing an explosion, and He can likewise cause just the explosion itself without the chemicals present. It is the scientist who foolishly assumes because he saw pattern, that he could therefore validly determine the cause of the event, and believes himself to have discovered 'laws' based on these incomplete observations.
God is moving the sun in a specific pattern He designed specifically for it. A scientist observes the sun and determines that because he is seemingly able to predict it's next movement at any given moment, its movement is therefore by some natural law. So the scientist says, "Therefore, natural law." God says He stopped the sun for awhile. The atheistic scientist says, "That would be supernatural, outside of natural law".
