Secular science demands we accept the philosophical dogma of scientific materialism—that only material entities exist. Yet recent science has discovered the immaterial!Also mandated is the assumption that all things must be explained by natural causes. But we now are certain that the universe had a beginning. There was a time when "nature" didn't exist—and yet we must attribute the origin of the universe to nature!And what about Darwin's theory of evolution—taken as fact that every plant and animal owe its origin to a common ancestor and naturalistic causes. At the time of Darwin, over a century and a half ago, no one knew the true complexity of the cell. We now know the simplest of living organisms has 159, 662 base pairs of DNA and 182 protein-coding genes. What naturalistic cause put all of this together? Could this be assembled by blind, purposeless accident? What does recent science have to say?And what about recent discoveries in origin-of-life research? Do we now know enough to suggest life could not have created itself?A lot is happening in today's science that is best explained through the Christian worldview. Let's see what some of today's scientists are now saying.
