There are some things I just don't get...

There are some things I just don’t get and I don’t mean I don’t understand the science. I actually do. I don’t get the logic. Science is a gift from God and is (or at least is used to be) based upon our ability to observe certain things. For example, as long as we observed that the Sun revolved around the Earth science believed it to be so. Now that we can observe that the Earth revolves around the Sun we know it to be true. The need to absolutely prove facts with empirical evidence is the very foundation of science……until it comes to creation.


Creation is the one area of science that seems to absolutely ignore observation. I was recently watching the Science Channel and a program about creation. The program was discussing Inflation Theory (for more information on Inflation Theory see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_(cosmology) ) which attempts through complete fabrication to explain why the universe defies our own observation and logic. In a nutshell scientists can’t figure out why, based upon how we observe the universe NOW, the average temperature throughout the universe is nearly constant. Based upon the current rate of expansion of the universe (that’s the part we can observe) temperature couldn’t possibly be the same if the universe has been expanding ever since the so-called big bang. One of the preeminent authors on this theory, Alan Guth, in The Inflationary Universe, A Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins, wrote, “In the late 1970’s Linde independently invented much of the inflationary universe theory.” (emphasis mine).

Admittedly there are many things about how our world works that we don’t understand nor can we observe them. However, if science is to maintain any sense of integrity, it should remain loyal to empirical evidence. At least the theory of evolution is based on what is observed to be mutations in the fossil record though I reject that also on the basis of having no empirical evidence when it comes to cross-species evolution. There just isn’t any evidence of half-ape/half-man…..there just isn’t. Nor is there any evidence that a fish with a single bad fin could find itself surviving walking on shore.



So I just don’t get it…..God acting in creation is just as observable to science as inflation. Why can’t we just accept that God did it…..it answers many more questions than it raises.
