What do many scientists and atheists have in common?

Why Scientists Can’t See God in the Facts?

That’s a very important question and much of it has to do with the definition of
science. The following primary definition of science in the American Heritage Dictionary
restricts the search to a natural cause:

a) The observation, identification, description, experimental
investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.


b) Such activities restricted to a class of natural
phenomena.



c) Such
activities applied to an object of inquiry or study.

By definition, science rules out the supernatural. Some scientists have decided
God cannot be the cause before even looking at the evidence. We learned earlier this is contempt prior to investigation. This is probably why they keep trying to sell us natural causes despite complex design.

Consider this analogy that will shed some light on this matter. If I were a detective who knew for a fact there were only two possible suspects to a crime, and because
of personal bias completely ruled out the one who was guilty before examining the
evidence, I would obviously need to ignore many of the true facts and perhaps manipulate
or manufacture some evidence to make it fit the innocent suspect. By ruling out
God prior to their investigation, scientists are forced to maintain that
everything is a product of natural causes, something the actual facts dispute.

The atheist and many scientists can't
find God, for the same reason a thief can't find a policeman.

There is an obvious similarity between scientists and
a person called for jury duty who has made a decision prior to looking at the
evidence. If these scientists showed up for jury duty with this attitude, they
would surely be disqualified.

You will seek me and find me (God), when you seek me
with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

Overwhelming Evidence of Bias
Some people claim you cannot believe anything a Christian writes about God because
they believe the Bible is true. But just because someone is committed and
passionate about a subject does not mean it is necessarily false. If it did,
you couldn’t trust anything you read, including scientific literature. Only the
facts can reveal the truth. The following quotes indicate how some scientists
reject the possibility of God prior to examining the facts, which is defined as
a prior commitment to materialism or naturalism. It is clear evidence of the
bias among mainstream scientists.

"Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was
not designed, but rather evolved.” Francis
Crick Nobel Prize winner for co-discovery of
the Double Helix. What Mad Pursuit.

“We take the
side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in
spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and
life, and in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for
unsubstantiated just-so-stories, because we have a prior commitment, a
commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of
science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal
world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our priori adherence to
material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts
that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive, no
matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an
absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." Professor
Richard Lewontin, a geneticist and evolutionist, Billions and Billions of Demons.

“In my
opinion, using creation and evolution as topics for critical-thinking exercises
in primary and secondary schools is virtually guaranteed to confuse students
about evolution and may lead them to reject one of the major themes in
science.”
Eugenie Scott, leader of the anti-creationist National Center for Science Education, Larry
Witham, Where Darwin Meets the Bible,
p. 23.

“Even if all the data points to an intelligent designer, such a hypothesis is excluded
from science because it is not naturalistic.” Dr. Scott Todd, an Immunologist at Kansas
State University, “Correspondence to
Nature” 401(6752):423, 30 Sept. 1999.

“Ultimately it is all about the concept of ‘God’. No
answer can be "God probably did it" for a scientist, by definition, because
God is defined as being non-materialistic or outside of Nature. Therefore, scientists commonly argue that God, if he even exists, is beyond the detection of science - that he cannot be
ruled in or out of any equation.” Sean Pitman
MD. www.Detecting Design.com

This next Bible verse seems fitting
as it predicts the scientists we see today, who worship evolution.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the
immortal God for images resembling mortal man and
birds and animals and creeping things. Rom.
1:22-23


Conclusion – Many scientists display their obvious
bias by ruling out God before they look at the facts.

Is Truth important to you?

Is Truth Important to You?



If you were dying of a deadly but curable disease, would you want the right medication to survive.

Would you want to know the truth about the risks before investing your life savings?

Do you want your family and friends to tell you the truth once in a while, or all of the time?

If you were charged with a murder you did not commit, would you want the truth to come out?


If you want truth in these areas, it appears truth really is important to you. So what’s on the other side of death? If God exists and your destination after physical death is based on the choices you make in this life, would the truth about eternity be important?

What is Objective Truth? * Relates to the object referred to. * Corresponds with reality. * Telling it like it is. * Something that is true even if no one believes it. * Jesus and the Bible claim to be objective truths.


“Truth is true—even if no one knows it. Truth is true—even if no one admits it. Truth is true—even if no one agrees what it is. Truth is true—even if no one follows it. Truth is true—even if no one but God grasps it fully.” Paul Copan, Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University, author, True For You But Not For Me.


What is The Law of Non-Contradiction? It is our built in lie detector to help us find truth. The law of non-contradiction is a fundamental principle of thought that clearly tells us opposite ideas cannot both be true at the same time and in the same sense. For example - the Earth is flat vs. the Earth is round. This law is self-evident and undeniable. Knowledge of this law is crucial to understanding that truth does exist and its opposite is always false. It’s true that you are reading this book right now. You are the object in this statement. So it’s true for everybody, everywhere that you are reading this book right now. It’s a contradiction or false that you are not reading it. Since it’s true Washington D.C. is the capitol of the United States of America, any other belief, even the next closest city geographically, is contradictory and false. You have particular first and last names that are true, while any other names are false. We all took multiple choice tests in school; one answer was true while the rest were false, no matter how close to the truth they came. Truth is always narrow and exclusive, excluding its opposites.

Contradictions in a statement render the claim false. For example - “I have a gift for you and a list of work you need to do to get it.” You know right away that my statement does not make sense because a gift that requires work is not a gift. Some have said to me “truth does not exist” but in doing so, they claim it is true, that truth does not exist. Both of these statements are contradictory and thus false. Conclusion – Truth exists, it’s important and its contradictions are always false.

What is The Best Way to Find Truth? I am sure you will agree, a person can stumble into truth. We all guessed correctly on a few school tests. But guessing or hoping to find the truth by mere accident is obviously not the best way to make an important decision. The following are three popular ways people use to come to a conclusion that something is true. Which one would you pick to make a decision where truth is vital?

1. Feelings - it feels right, gives me purpose, hope and peace of mind, so I believe it’s the truth. 2. Family or someone I trust believes it, so I do. 3. Evidence, consistency, best fits the evidence.

Approximately 95 percent of the hundreds of people I have asked this specific question pick the third option right away. But a strange thing happens when I ask the same people if they believe in God. Now the same people who just told me truth was very important and evidence was the best way to find it, suddenly say their beliefs about God are not founded on the evidence, but on feelings or on what someone else believes. Therefore it’s quite probable that your current belief about God is not based on evidence either. The problem is that there are sincere followers in every belief, who claim to have found the truth. So is one belief correct and the only way to God or do all roads lead to heaven? Does God exist at all? If we base our search solely on subjective evidence like feelings and personal experience, it’s confusing because every belief has followers that will attest to both. If we decide to believe something because someone else does, how do we know for sure they have found the truth? Did they examine the evidence or are they just following their feelings or a crowd? The only legitimate way to be reasonably sure our faith is placed in the truth is to examine the objective evidence ourselves, like we would with any major decisions. Objective evidence can be examined by everyone and does not change due to emotions, fee-lings or personal experience. An example of objective evidence would be scientific and historical facts.

I am not suggesting that you completely ignore your feelings as they can be helpful when you have verifiable facts and more than one solid option. So keep your feelings handy, but I urge you to not place them above the facts. Finding the truth about God is very important since every belief includes views about salvation and eternity. Making a wise decision based on the objective evidence is only sensible.

Conclusion – The best way to discover truth is by examining the objective evidence.
