Summations Only

RC Sproul writes:We have a tendency in our day to think of mythology as a literary enterprise of primitive, ignorant, prescientific cultures. This tendency errs in two directions. On the one hand it is the nadir of arrogance for us to assume that ancient civilizations were primitive, ignorant, or prescientific. The Egyptians, Chinese, Babylonians, Romans, and Greeks, for example, were anything but primitive or ignorant. They all achieved extraordinary levels of scientific advancement. Yes, they had mythology; but they had their serious science as well.
The second error is to relegate mythology to the past, making it an addiction practiced only by premodern cultures. On the contrary, mythical approaches to life and learning persist in every culture. Mythology continues to intrude in the arena of religion. It is commonplace in the superstitions that abound among athletes in professional sports. It is found in a host of medicinal home remedies that are often classified under the rubric of old wives’ tales.
Mythology also intrudes into the realm of science. Uncritically accepted hypotheses and theories of the past die a slow and reluctant death. We have seen the resistance the church has displayed against new advances in scientific knowledge, the Galileo episode being the most famous. But it is not only churchmen who offer resistance. Even in Galileo’s day opposition to him was heavily laden by scientists whose pet theories and accepted traditions were crumbling under the weight of new empirical evidence.
One myth that has found its way into modern thought and is entrenched in some circles is the myth of chance.

Sproul writes:Mortimer Adler notes this new usage: There is still a third sense of ‘chance’ in which it means that which happens totally without causethe absolutely spontaneous or fortuitous.
With the elevation of chance to the level of a real force, the myth serves to under-gird a chaos view of reality. Buttressed by inferences drawn from quantum theory, the idea that reality is irrational rather than coherent gained popularity.

When we say things happen by chance, the term by can be heard as a dative of means. Suddenly chance is given instrumental power. It is the means by which things come to pass. This means now assumes a certain power to effect change. Something that in reality is nothing now has the ability or power to do something.

Buzsaw writes:Science alleges that Energy is eternal, having no beginning or ending according to 1LoT. Only an eternal operative source of energy explains it. It is further supported by observable phenomena relative to the existence of the supernatural as has been shown.OTH, there is no physical scientific evidence of either the alleged singularity zero event emerging into the alleged expansion of alleged time/space.
