Scientific Method Cannot Prove its Own Validity

Fallacy of Scientific Method as Proof of God {Anything};
Scientific Method Cannot Even Prove its Own Validity

The Lost, those not saved according to the Gospel of belief in Christ as the only way to be with God throughout eternity future, frequently demand proof that God exists  (Ro 10:9-11). The atheists sneer that without proof there is no foundation on which to base the truth of God’s existence. They confidently point to the many, many accomplishments of Man using the Scientific Method that have no only improved daily life but have also given Man great insights into the heavens, into the atoms and even into man’s evolutionary development. Hence, they postulate that there is no need for God; ergo, He does not need to exist. This post looks briefly at their basic premise and three supporting so-called scientific proofs. I believe we will discover that they require greater faith to believe their position than the Christian needs to believe the Bible!

Since the Enlightenment Age {Age of Reason or Modern Era} the Scientific Method and Science in general has been hailed as the great giver of knowledge {light} and prosperity. It has become a religion in its own right even while decrying religions as anti-intellectual or reason! Science by definition is empirical; that is, it is based on what can be detected with the five senses. However, these observations, facts or measurements, are meaningless without a context or theory to explain the why of the facts. Theories come from testable hypotheses which are based on assumptions, elements that are assumed to be true though are unprovable {Assumptions of science: 5 reasons you should be skeptical.}. This was clearly understood in the Enlightenment’s early days when Science was known as Natural Philosophy. Science and philosophy separated in the 19th century when it was realized that Science could not reveal Truth, which was Natural Philosophy’s intended goal! Thus, Science became a means of fitting discoverable facts into an acceptable conceptual framework. As the conceptual framework became the main determiner of correct facts, Science morphed into Scientism which sought to suppress undesirable conceptual frameworks and even its supporting facts. Nowhere has this become more disastrous than in healthcare resulting in millions of deaths by ignoring inconvenient facts and theories. We shall look at two competing theories of healthcare and their impact on your life; and death. Continue reading “Tale of Two Theories of Health and Death” →
