What Science Really Does

Sep 16, 2008 in Commentary, Faith in Life

Science observes how the power of God operates, discovers a regular pattern somewhere and fixes it as a ‘law.’ The uniformity of God’s activities in his creation enables the scientist to predict the course of natural phenomena. The trustworthiness of God’s behavior in his world is the foundation of all scientific truth. Upon it the scientist rests his faith and from there goes on to achieve great and useful things in such fields as those of navigation, chemistry, agriculture, and the medical arts. - A. W. Tozer

Sure is the best description I’ve heard. Describes what the scientists should really be doing (observation), describes what the source of the things they observe are (the power of God), and describes what they can and should do with that information.

Love it…
