One of the struggles that thinking believers have is to deal with the declared independence of science from any metaphysical truths. Science is a bit arrogant that way. It is a false dicotomy and a strange place to find it dealt with is a blog called The Crucified God. Strange, that is, to people who drink the scientific kool aide of scientism.
The post defines scientism. Part of that is,
“Many people in our day and age, especially those with no formal education in philosophy and an unhealthy confidence in the explanatory power of the physical sciences, consider that physics, chemistry, biology, and whatever can be reduced to these fields will someday offer a complete account and explanation of all reality whatsoever. This is called scientism.” (Emphasis in original)Before that he deals with several presuppositions of scientific research: Change, efficient causality, and substance.
The post is well written and readable to encourage those who are not into philosophy or physics. If you feel uncomfortable in the debate between creation and evolution then this might get your juices flowing and help you come to answers.
