In this episode we explore the age-old debate of whether science is at odds with Christian faith. My argument is that the scientific method, consisting of steps like observation, hypothesis formulation, and experimentation, inherently presupposes principles that align with the Christian worldview and not with atheism. Each scientific step is detailed and linked to biblical principles, highlighting the harmony between science and Christianity and showcasing the logical inconsistencies within atheism. Learn why biblical Christianity uniquely supports the foundations of scientific inquiry.
