Modern takes on the sciences have forgotten the theistic roots of natural philosophy. The sciences have a valid theological basis in the scriptural command to subdue the earth.
It’s a symptom of the age. IMHO, and probably according to scripture too, Christians shouldn’t get all huffy over this. They know the score; they know the world is blind to God. Evolutionary theory is a particularly hot area of conflict, because life on earth is such a witness to God and secular science is trying to do the best it can godlessly.
Science has become a Bad Religion....it all about political power, it speaks as if they were infallible, and to disagree it in any degree with the orthodoxies dogma you are branded a heretic..
What I find interesting is that as science has advanced in their effort to answer some basic questions of life, existence etc, they are increasingly finding more questions than answers.
It’s as if there is no end, as if there is no finality of understanding.
I am all in favor of science and its efforts to find truth. But, what we have seen over the years is the invocation of any number of theories that are simply, unscientific.
Theories, that seem to be out of a desperate attempt deny the obvious.
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
