Thank you.

Good points.

Science requires what it considers constants to be, well, constant. And there’s simply no way of knowing if they are or not.

Science, in its rejection of theology, makes a number of philosophical assumptions based on something. Necessity, most likely since they HAVE to make those assumptions for their theories to hold.

Untrue. Thanks to powerful telescopes and a finite speed of light, we can directly observe the past and measure many of the constants. So far, every observation is that they have remained, well, constant throughout the history of the universe. And that makes sense, since God several places in His Word points to the constant laws of nature as being proof of His justice and steadfastness to Israel (e.g., Jeremiah 31-33).

Shalom
