<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 <Several quotes aren't included because Gab limits the size of the post.> 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. <end quote> #RealFaith&Reason Have you read this FREE book yet? “Real Faith & Reason” gives the absolutely certain proof of the Bible and the God of the Bible and shows how you can have real faith.
