“Science is a method for studying the natural world. Naturalism is a worldview claiming that nature is all there is. Those are not the same thing. Science asks how the natural world works. Naturalism insists, before the discussion even begins, that nothing exists beyond nature.” - CPost
“Vitalism is the age-old idea that living things possess a vital force – some fundamental element that generally does not exist in non-life…..vitalism is making a comeback, and this time, in the work of those committed to a Darwinian framework.” - ID the Future
‘Earlier comparisons overstated similarity due to methodological choices…. Luskin notes that in any case percentage similarity alone cannot prove common ancestry, since similarities could also be explained by ‘common design.’” - Discovery.org
“Jeff Williams has seen the earth from 250 miles up. But the book’s real argument is that the most important vantage point isn’t orbital—it’s eternal.” - The Cripplegate
“Although scientific findings are always provisional, it seems difficult to avoid the conclusion that an incredibly powerful and intelligent being designed our universe to support life. In what follows we’ll look at the scientific credibility of fine-tuning, specific examples, possible explanations for it, and consider some objections.” - CPost
“Kepler’s revolutionary discoveries in natural philosophy and his unique insights into natural theology have inspired generations of scientists and philosophers. As we continue to discover new evidence of design in life and the universe, Travis argues that Kepler’s work is as relevant today as ever.” - ID The Future
To say that science and faith are not mutually exclusive based on historical examples of the myriad scientists who were also theists is not sufficient in determining whether or not science and faith are mutually exclusive. Attempting to do so is argumentum ad hominem—just because there are examples of people did something or held to a particular view does not mean that they were rational, logical, or otherwise justified in what they advocated. They may have been, but the fact that they held a position does not in itself justify the position held.
“77% of U.S. adults now say they have a great deal (28%) or fair amount of confidence (49%) in scientists to act in the public’s best interests…. Americans’ confidence in scientists remains lower than it was prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.” - Pew
“…‘science’ is not some kind of monolithic system of proved and perfect knowledge. Science is a method of observing the world and drawing conclusions about natural phenomena.” - David de Bruyn
“The change Bolloré has described in the Spectator article is primarily among the emerging generations of scientists.” - Breakpoint
