Scientific Methodology[1] and its Bearing on a Dismissive[2] Attitude Against Christianity
To make matters worse for the
critic, identifying the phenomena that Christians must reconcile with
our faith, at the same time highlights a body of facts that the critic must also
explain on the basis of an atheistic world view too: whether that be strong
atheism or weak atheism. For starters, atheists
for example are obligated to explain the following:
·
The universe came into existence out of zero-volume
singularity (absolutely nothing).[1]
·
Our universe is habitable by humans only because
at its inception aspects within the atom, the electro-magnetic force, and the
force of gravity were precisely set.[2]
·
Virtually
every life-form, including the most primitive, contains DNA whose information-laden
genetic code specifies the formation and construction of every single body part.[3]
·
No other hypothesis than that Jesus rose from
the dead, fully reconciles with the entire body of twelve historical facts that
even skeptical historians acknowledge are trustworthy.[4]
Critics evade their responsibility to account for the above
realities for the reason that they have no case.
