Don’t let someone convince you that science is everything. 

In short, there are two ways that humans increase our understanding of the world, inductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning.

Of course, Christians would include the voice of the Trinity in that list as well. 

Induction is reasoning based on evidence. This is simply science. 

Deduction is reasoning based on logic. This is philosophy. 

Many argue that science is everything. 

In the book Who made God, William Lane Craig points out: 

“But philosophers of science during the second half of the twentieth century came to realize that the whole scientific enterprise is based on certain assumptions that cannot be proved scientifically, but that are guaranteed by the Christian worldview: for example, the laws of logic, the orderly nature of the external world, the reliability of our cognitive faculties in knowing the world, the validity of inductive reasoning, and the objectivity of the moral values used in science. I want to emphasize that science could not even exist without these assumptions, and yet these assumptions cannot be proved scientifically. They are philosophical assumptions, which, interestingly, are part and parcel of a Christian worldview.” 

The issue shows that science can only look at things that are observable and testable.

And not all things are observable or testable.

See more of this in Black Swan, By: Nassim Taleb.

Science is not everything, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 

I love you.
