They also fit with scientific and everyday experience. Finally, they are in accord with my understanding of Scriptural revelation. Thus, I believe that creationism provides the only viable epistemological base for scientific psychology. Psychology as science must proceed to study behavior as an orderly, cause-effect phenomenon. Its greatest advances in terms of explanation, prediction and control have come from that stance in which man is viewed as passive.
Biblical creationism provides for and prescribes the bounds for such a view.
The boundaries are exactly at that line where social science begins to encroach upon and destroy man's deepest and most innnediate concept of himself as a choosing agent in the universe. Biblical creationism also sets boundaries on the active or self-actional view of man. The boundaries are set at the point where psychology's faith in autonomous man leads into mysticism and occult speculations. The final point concerns the impact of scientific creationism on the common sense view of man. Under the influence of reductionist, evolutionary views, common sense psychology has generally been held in low esteem by the experts for the profundity of everyday explanations of behavior.
