Well isnt using science to prove science a circular argument as well or does this only apply to the bible.
This was in a conversation about life on other planets and whether or not they are saved by Christ. |
No. First off science does not prove (unless we are talking about math or logic). Science does not presuppose its correctness, it gives us a good reasons to believe something. IE all observed swans are white, therefore we do not expect to see purple swans even though it is conceivable. This is not the same as "swans are not purple because swans are not purple" and definitely not the same as "the bible is the word of god because the bible is the word of god"
