Found on a fundamentalist forum :
"Science is a way to determine whether or not a theory can stand up to a standard or criteria that will bring conclusive "evidence" to a hypotheses. Science is a tool and being such is used as a means to determine that which the tool users sets out to accomplish. To accomplish anything you must hold some form of direction or "theory" to even start using the tool. From the outset you have a bias, you are using the tool to confirm a thought or "theory" that you wish to prove. Science, as the tool, only serves to project possiblity and possiblity only is possible by a set or determined path. Science must adhere to that path. Science cannot work outside of set limitations. As an example you must adhere to the law of gravity, the set points in any experiment are those which are universal in all theories and any hypotheses that is outside of the universal is null and void before it begins. Science does not formulate or create the universal it only acts within it. If you take away any of the universals then science itself will fall on its face. The universals are what makes Science work at all and according to science the universals are a chance or random occurance; and to adhere to that must then also adhere that any possiblity is not possible at all. Nothing then can be "expected" or concluded by science at all. Without a beginning that is rational or logical it is impossible to "expect" logic or rationality to be the conclusion. Science can not say that tomorrow the sun will rise and set and that the moon will follow the sun to rise in the night sky."
"Christianity is the most logical consistant most coherant viewpoint that can be held when you look at it from our viewpoint. That you can not look at it from that viewpoint is due to your bias toward the belief that there is no God. Without God to create and continue to establish the absoulutes within our universe your viewpoint has no merit. To say that we will not "see" the evidence before us is to allow your bias and presuppositions but preclude ours."
