The Scientific Method
1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.
2. Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation.
3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations.
4. Performance of experimental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.
The creation account reflects the scientific method.
It begins with a statement of the point of view, orframe of reference.
Next there is an indication of the initialconditions.
Then comes a chronological account of the physical events.
Finally, there is a statement of conclusions.
Thomas Torrance's work documents the derivation of the scientific method, in large part, from the Bible.
This is horrible - it assumes that Scripture asserts Hypothetical, shows evidence, and makes a conclusion, that is a stretch that no serious student of scripture would touch with a 10 foot pole, unless he uses eisegesis as his main theology - starting with an idea, then finding scripture that supports what he says -
The bible makes no assertion that it is hypothetical - it's literal historical ie Genesis where we are talking about, yeah i'd rethink anything done by Thomas Torrance
I don't deny the scientific record, I deny the humanistic worldview that man has, in order to deny the Gospel, The Bible, or Creation. Do you know what eisegesis vs exegesis is? That a plain reading of scripture is a young creation, rather than taking meanings of word and conforming them to fit in your definition and really do harm to the text. That if you take it exegetically you draw out the importance of creation, or do you deny the book of Romans and what Jesus actually says. If you don't hold that the bible is God's word, that's fine, we make our choices and live by the consequences of them.
Alas, we put our tents one day at a time towards eternity

Alrighty then! That was truly inspiring! I'm wondering if I can download that. I'd like to show that to a very old friend today that has no internet. He's a Christian but I know he struggles with his faith in his old age after suffering much over many years. But thanks again! What a wonderful point.
I wrote a paper in my Master's on the Myth of the Scientific Method, and this was the beginning of seeing Science as a human endeavor, where people are full of bias, and agenda's that lead them to their conclusions - Paradigms of Science, that tower over any new theory, which lead me to Presuppositional or Worldview apologetics; That the Bible as a whole is a worldview, that cannot really be held unless we are born again and with the renewing of our minds Romans 12:2, and indwelt with the Holy Spirit
I wonder if Christians knew how much secular scientists mock them when they hold to evolution, or conform exactly to what they want, i have a few quotes
•“were going to dupe all of these bishops and clergy, if we handle this strategy right, we will pull them right along” - Charles Lisle
"Each ('day-age' or 'gap-theory'). . . involves critical compromises with the plainest, most literal reading of the Bible to force Scripture into concordance with scientific evidence regarding the age of the earth." [4] Dr. Tom McIver
I wish I could find Huxley's lambaste of Christians who so readily deny the plain reading of Genesis also deny the plain promises in them based on an exegetical study of the book of Genesis.
Correct worldviews lead to correct thinking
Presuppositions make up a worldview
Uniformity in Nature
Absolute Morality
Reliability of Senses
Laws of Logic
Reliability of Memory
All these only come from a Biblical Worldview
Jesus is the ultimate example of what it looks like to live out the Biblical Worldview
