The Science Of God: An Introduction To Scientific Theology

Summary: A New Kind of Science
Review: This is a important attempt to expose the religion of Charles Darwin, the Devil's Chaplain, and men like Richard Dawkins who works as the Devil's Deacon. Their religion is called naturalist fundamentalism, a blind faith that goes against all evidence.

This naturalist religion insists in advancing the idea that everything evolved out of nothing (as if nothing was something from which anything and everything could evolve!), that all univwerse evolved out of an infinitesimal particle, that life evolved out of non-life, and man evolved out of particles.

Although it claims to be scientific, naturalist fundamentalism has not been able to put forward any objective convincing scientific proof whatsoever. No one of these types of evolution can be scientifically demonstrated.

If you have any doubts, just consider the fact that naturalist scientists are yet to explain the cause of the Big Bang, the origin of the stars, galaxies, the solar system, the sun, the planets, the earth and the moon.

More down to earth, naturalist fundamentalists have not yet demonstrated the existence of a pre-biotic soup, the accidental origin of life, nor have they identified the alleged common acestor, nor found the billions of missing links in the fossil record that we should be able to find if evolution really took place, nor have they been able to find information generating mutations that would allow particles to people evolution.

All the other naturalist fundaemtnalists are yet too build a convincing case that gradual evolution is compatible with molecular biology, genetics and the fossil record.

In spite of failing to answer all the fundamental questions, naturalist "scientists" keep blindly boasting their"scientific" claims, falling to see that as far as true scientific knowledge is concerned these claims have not yet left ground zero. In vain do we look for definitve answers to the basic questions in current evolutionary theory.

My question is: instead of wasting your precious time with the naturalist fundamentalism and with teachings that lead you nowhere, why won't one listen to the Word of the Creator imself when it cames to answer the basic questions about the origin, meaning and destiny of one's life? After all, the Creator is the only living witness to the Creation.

It makes a lot more sense to me. If you one has the Creator's final Word right now, why wait for more tentative speculations and just-so-stories?

If the Universe was Created by God (a possibility that science cannot exclude a priori), than the true understanding of the Universe is only possible with a New Kind of Science, one that allows for God to direct and guide it and that operates for the glory of God and the service of mankind.

If all knowledge depends on indemonstrable assumptions, true knowlege about the Universe, Life and Man is only possible through faith in the Word of the Creator.

Summary: A fresh and comprehensive approach to theology!
Review: This is a short readable introduction to a series of three books
on a scientific approach to theology.

Considering the multi-levelled imprint
of God's revelation upon reality (as mentioned in the book) as
what one could observe in the way that a scientist would observe
the natural world (only)
and construct his/her theories, one could then
construct understandings/theories about God (doctrines, etc).
It would be interesting to apply the approach/system to
various doctrines, say the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is often considered to be
in the category of secondary doctrines in the sense that it
is something inferred/derived from narratives and various
passages of the bible rather than directly observed (via an
explicit statement in the bible, for example).
I am no expert theologian and yet I benefited from the views
presented in the book. The view of nature as God's creation
is very well put forward. What I get from it seems to
be a wholistic way of looking at the world (nature as well
as the history of God's revelation in the bible, in Christ's
coming, etc) and of reality - all as bearing the imprint of
God. The reality one experiences
is like God's communication to mankind
which then needs to be responded to, i.e.
observed, critically thought about,
and theories and doctrines constructed for. Great book!

Summary: Very useful
Review: This is a time-saving book to McGrath's over-hyped and misguided "Scientific Theology" series. Very good.
