SCIENCE AND THE EXISTENCE OF GOD — No Contradiction

neither acknowledging the existence of God nor denying it. The subject of scientific study is the material world. The material world is the creation of the Creator. Scientific study is, therefore, the study of God’s creation. A scientist can deny the existence of a Creator, but it is impossible for him to deny the signs of the Creator in His creation. In truth, the physical world contains many incredible realities that are beyond material comprehension. For example, meaningful design, intelligence, purposeful planning, etc. These properties in the physical world are an indirect affirmation of the existence of God. The subject of scientific study is the material world. The material world is the creation of the Creator. Scientific study is, therefore, the study of God’s creation. To justify this opinion, one method that we can use is to evaluate whether or not scientific discoveries are in conformity with the concept of the existence of God. This method of establishing a viewpoint can be called ‘verificationism’. Another argument we can use can be called ‘the principle of compatibility’. This means that if a premise which in itself is not demonstrable is compatible with existing known and demonstrable discoveries, we can accept it as true. If this method is applied to the concept of the existence of God, then the existence of God becomes established. Acknowledgement of Science Scientific studies have shown that there exists a high order of intelligence and planning in the universe. There is incredible harmony in the universe. These facts have been acknowledged by many world renowned scientists, such as Sir James Jeans, Arthur Eddington, Albert Einstein, David Foster, Fred Hoyle, etc. It has been established that the essence of the universe is ‘intelligence’. In the words of a scientist: Molecular biology has conclusively proved that the ‘matter’ of organic life, our very flesh, really is mind-stuff. In 1927, a Belgian scientist, Georges Lemaitre, proposed the concept of the Big Bang. Further research on his proposal resulted in what is now widely accepted as the model of the universe. In 1965, cosmic background radiation—ripples of microwave radiation found every-
