Science and Apologetics

Ironically, mainstream modern "science" often exists more in the realms of philosophy, religion, and mythology, in that it posits theories contrary to well-etablished scientific laws:

1) Something from Nothing?: From where did the Big Bang singularity come into existence? To say it arose purely by chance from nothingness is a violation of scientific law.

2) Inertia: Even granted the free lunch of point #1, how did the Big Bang singularity remain in organized stasis for eternity, and then all of a sudden change states without being acted upon by an outside force? This is an effect without a cause, and is therefore another violation of scientific law.

3) Mathemtical Probability in Evolution: Sir Fred Hoyle of Cambridge said that the chances of a living cell appearing somewhere in the universe spontaneously are 10 to the 40,000 power (yes, count 'em, 40 THOUSAND!). It is accepted among all mathematicians that anything greater than 10 to the 50th power never occurs. And, the amount of time required would be trillions of billions of years, compared with the scant 12 to 20 billion years currently speculated to be the age of th universe.

4) "Science doesn’t feel the need to get into answering the problem of the origin of the Big Bang Singularity or how the Big Bang actually occurred." "What kind of science is this that arbitrarily stops before answering its main question?"--RC Sproul to Carl Sagan’s position that science doesn’t feel the need to go back that far.


Science, Life, and History

Through the scientific elements of mathematical probability, entropy laws, thermodynamics, & the fossil record, science proves that it would have been utterly impossible for life on earth would be to arise by pure chance. Science tells us that the existence of a Creator God is unavoidable.

History / archaeology has shown that the aforementioned Creator God is Christ, Who was prophesied in the Old Testament, joined Himself to mankind by being born of a woman, died for our sins, was resurrected, and now sits incarnate in heaven ruling His Universe.

The facts of science and history compel us to enter into a covenant relationship with Him and acknowledge Him as King.
