1. Modern scientific research, with all of its technological advances, has taught as much as Gods creation. Not only has it helped us to appreciate the intricacy and majesty of the universe, but it has also given us an appreciation for the uniqueness and glory of the earth.

Slide 11

2. Faith is confident belief in the authority or reliability of something. In other words, faith believes that someone or something is trustworthy enough that we can always depend on him or it.

Slide 12

3. The Bible is Gods communication to us, and as we listen to it, God given us faith to believe it is true and that, since it comes from Him, it is authoritative.

Slide 13

4. Science is valid only when it flows out of faith in Gods reality.

Slide 14

5. Evolutionists often criticize Creationists for believing things by faith instead of by scientific proof. They do not realize, or will not admit, that they also believe what they do by faith without any scientific proof.

Slide 15

6. Scientism is the belief that scientific inquiry is the only path to truth.

Slide 16

7. Big Bang Theory is the notion that the universe began in a gigantic explosion-like event about 15 billion years ago.

Slide 17

ex nihilo 8. The Bible also tells us that God created the universe out of nothing.

Slide 18

9. Many evolutionary scientists have become dissatisfied with the big bang theory and have developed a multitude of theories in an attempt to try to improve upon it.

17. So any theory that does not faithfully support the Bibles record of Creation is effectively taking Christ out of Christianityevolutionists

Slide 35

18. Uniformitarismthe principle that natural laws and processes today are essentially the same as they always have been

Slide 36

19. secularany person, or idea that relies on human values and does not take into account spiritual things, especially, the truth of the Bible

Slide 37

20. Materialism is the belief that only material things are real.

Slide 38

21. Fallacy is an error in reasoning

Slide 39

22. Hasty Generalizationwhen a person makes a general conclusion based on a small number of cases that are not necessarily typical of the whole group (when using a sample that is too small or a sample that is not representative of the whole) [conclusion is based on small #]

Slide 40

23. Circular Reasoning assuming what you are trying to prove [assumptions]

Slide 41

24. Ad Hominem Fallacy attacking the person involved in the argument instead of attacking the argument itself, insults against a person involved in the argument [insults]

Slide 42

25. Post Hoc Fallacy assumes that something is the cause of an event because it happened before that event [assumes cause before the effect]

Slide 43

26. Pretended-Neutrality Fallacycommitted by people claiming to have no presuppositions [belief without proofmust use senses to have proof

Slide 44

Slide 45

27. Presupposition is an idea that a person takes for granted, something that is believed to be true without proof

Slide 46

28. If something cannot be observed with the five senses (or instruments that aid the senses), science is not equipped to deal with it and should not speak with any authority on the subject.

Slide 47

. 29. Inductive Reasoningworking from specific observations to a general truth

Slide 48

30. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that the combined total of matter and energy in the universe is constant. In other words, neither is coming into existence today

Slide 49

31. Conservation energy cannot be created not destroyed in any process but only changed from one form to another

Slide 50

32. The Second Law of Thermodynamics involves two themes; degeneration or running down and entropy which describes the disorder of the system.

Slide 51

33. Since these steps do not always describe what scientists do, a more accurate way to think about a scientists work is the phrase scientific methodology

Slide 52

34. Given the same instruments and the same powers of observation, creationary and evolutionary scientists will usually produce exactly the same raw data.

Slide 53

35. Often scientists may question the validity of another scientists data or conclusions or a conclusion may give rise to additional questions. Their interpretation is different.

Slide 54

36. The worldview of a scientist often influences his questions.

Slide 55

37. A scientist develops a hypothesis in order to provide direction for finding an answer to his question.

Slide 56

38. A good hypothesis has five characterists: a. it must be reasonable b. it must be testable c. It must not contradict well-established scientific principles d. Must explain all current observations and successfully predict new ones e. It should be as simple as possible

Slide 57

39. A model is a working representation of what the scientist thinks is going on.

Slide 58

40. After a hypothesis has been tested and found not to fail, it gains stature as a theory.

Slide 59

41. If a well-established theory makes many correct predictions over time, and withstood testing, it comes to be known as a law.

Slide 60

42. Limitations of Science a. Science can deal with only the physical universe b. Science cannot prove universal (a blanket statement of denial) c. Science has an inability to make value judgments (value is the worth we attach to an object)

Slide 61

d. Science cannot make moral judgments (deals with the rightness and wrongness of an act) does not include medicinenot morally wrong e. Science cannot provide ultimate truths (science is changeable) f. Science is fallible and prone to error
