Season 2 Podcast 10 Science and Faith, Some Random Thoughts
The crisis of faith or the clash between science and religion did not occur with the emergence of science. The emergence of science merely revealed how far we have strayed from the true God. The moment that love was replaced with fear, superstition, fanaticism, crusades, and inquisitions, then the chains of bondage began to rattle, and the fires of hell began to heat up. The irony is that no hell in all Holy Writ matches the hell of the giant heat death invented by science. In Christianity most people are saved and go to heaven; in science everyone is doomed to an everlasting hell.
When religion tries to become science, truth suffers; but truth suffers more when science tries to become religion. It is just as impossible for religion to try to prove there is a God as it is for science to try to prove there isn’t. In the attempt, both fall into a quagmire of logical fallacies. When religion denies faith, then religion begins to fail. When science denies facts then science begins to fail. Religion denies faith when it feels that it must prove that God exists. Science denies facts when it feels it must prove that God does not exist. It leads science utte intelligent design when without intelligent design science couldn’t even exist. Science can only exist because there is perfect order in the universe. There is perfect order because there is perfect law. There is perfect law because God organized laws and God is perfect. Denial of intelligent design has led science to worship the idols of luck, chance, accident, coincidence, and serendipity of circumstances.
It is a cosmic irony that modern science is committing the same fallacies that it accused religion of. They accuse Christians of believing in a God of miracles, a God of the supernatural, an arbitrary God that that plays with the elements for sport. Yet science believes that chance created the university, that a crack of thunder started life, that everything happened by a giant explosion and will end in a giant freeze, or a giant heat death, or chaos or maximum equilibrium and that something comes from nothing which would be the greatest miracle of all since it is utterly impossible to create something from nothing. Even Christianity cannot duplicate such a miracle as that. In fact even God cannot create something from nothing.
I am going to use the late great Stephen Hawking and his book The Grand Design to point out some of the logical fallacies of modern science. Linda, you have agreed to be my reader. Will you read the list of short quotes from Stephen Hawking’s book The Grand Design?
Number 1 “Quantum fluctuations lead to the creation of tiny universes out of nothing. A few of these reach a critical size, then expand in an inflationary manner, forming galaxies, stars, and, in a lest one case, beings like us.”

Later Mr. Hawking said, “Bodies such as stars or black holes cannot just appear out of nothing. But a whole universe can.” End of quote. It is a fundamental principle of science and logic that something can never appear from nothing. Science is now claiming that everything came from nothing even man, and they criticize religion for believing in miracles.
Number 2. “If we have free will, where in the evolutionary tree did it develop.
Later in the book Professor Hawking contradicts himself: I quote:
“Since an alien the size of a human would contain about a thousand trillion trillion particles even if the alien were a robot, it would be impossible to solve the equation and predict what it would do. We would therefore have to say that any complex being has freewill—not as a fundamental feature, but as an effective theory, an admission of our inability to do the calculations that would enabl
