The Root of the Problem

The root of the problem of much bad science today is the belief in Naturalism. Scientists may not admit to subscribing to a faith in Naturalism if they understand the theological arguments against it. However, many naturalists claim that there is no higher authority than science. The most fundamental question is whether our ultimate reality is the Cosmos or God as the Creator of all things. Is there a purpose to our lives, or are we a cosmic accident that has evolved from primordial slime?

Naturalism tell us that all that exists is nature. Life on Earth arose from a chance collision of atoms and has evolved into human life as we know it today. In its broadest sense, Naturalism includes its own form of religion. There are naturalists that believe all spiritual things come from nature, such as New Age and neo-pagan religions. Many other worldviews have sprung from the foundation of Naturalism such as, moral relativism (there is no transcendent source of moral truth), multiculturalism (all cultures are morally equivalent), pragmatism (denies moral standards), utopianism (believes all humans are fundamentally good), and a belief that there is nothing after this life. Ultimately, postmodernism (rejection of any universal truth) is the popular worldview today.

There is mounting evidence in scientific research, both from Christian and non-Christian scientists that there is a Creator, and that nature is not eternal and able to have created the human race. I hope that as I post on this blog, that I will be able to show the mounting scientific evidence for a Creator that far outweighs the scientific evidence for naturalism and the theory of evolution.
