Uniformity of Nature proves Biblical Creation

Some evolutionists have argued that science isn"t possible without evolution. They teach that science and technology actually require the principles of molecules-toman evolution in order to work. They claim that those who hold to a biblical creation worldview are in danger of not being able to understand science! Ironically, Evolution is actually contrary to the principles of science. That is, If evolution were true, The concept of science would not make sense. Science actually requires a biblical creation framework in order to be possible. Therefore, Evolution turns out to be more of an "anti-science" than a science. In order to do science we take for granted that the universe is understandable that it can be quantified in a way the mind can comprehend. We assume that the universe is logical and orderly and that it obeys mathematical laws that are consistent over time and space. Even though conditions in different regions of space and eras of time are quite diverse, There is nonetheless an underlying uniformity. Because there is such regularity in the universe, There are many instances where scientists are able to make successful predictions about the future. For example, Astronomers can successfully compute the positions of the planets, Moons, And asteroids far into the future. Without uniformity in nature, Such predictions would be impossible, And science could not exist. The problem for evolutionism is that such regularity only makes sense in a biblical creation worldview. The biblical creationist expects there to be order in the universe because God made all things (Gen. 1:1; John 1:3) and has imposed order on the universe. Since the Bible teaches that God upholds all things by His power (Heb. 1:3), The creationist expects that the universe would function in a logical, Orderly, Law-like fashion. Furthermore, God is consistent (1 Sam. 15:29; Num. 23:19) and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7"8). Thus, The creationist expects that all regions of the universe will obey the same laws, Even in regions where the physical conditions are quite different. The entire field of astronomy depends upon this important biblical principle. Moreover, God is beyond time (2 Pet. 3:8) and has chosen to uphold the universe in a consistent fashion throughout time for our benefit. So even though conditions in the past may be quite different than those in the present and future, The way God upholds the universe (what we would call the "laws of nature") will not arbitrarily change. God has told us that there are certain things we can count on to be true in the future " the seasons, The diurnal cycle, And so on (Gen. 8:22; Jer. 33:20"21). Therefore, Under a given set of conditions, The consistent Christian has the right to expect a given outcome because he or she relies upon the Lord to uphold the universe in a consistent way. These Christian principles are absolutely essential to science. When we perform a controlled experiment using the same preset starting conditions, we expect to get the same result every time. The "future reflects the past" in this sense. Scientists are able to make predictions only because there is uniformity as a result of God"s sovereign and consistent power. Scientific experimentation would be pointless without uniformity; we The future resembles the past because God upholds the future as He has upheld the past (the laws of nature are constant). Since none of us have experienced the future, The only way we could know that the future is like the past is by revelation from God. Everyone relies on this vital principle. would get a different result every time we performed an identical experiment, destroying the very possibility of scientific knowledge. Since science requires the biblical principle of uniformity (as well as a number of other biblical creation principles), It may seem rather amazing that one could be a scientist and also be an evolutionist. And yet there are scientists who profess to believe in evolution. How is this possible? The answer is that evolutionists are able to do science only because they are inconsistent. They accept biblical principles such as uniformity, while simultaneously denying the Bible from which those principles are derived. Such inconsistency is common in secular thinking; secular scientists claim that the universe is not designed, But they do science as if the universe is designed and upheld by God in a uniform way. Evolutionists can do science only if they rely on biblical creation assumptions (such as uniformity) that are contrary to their professed belief in evolution.
