SCIENCE FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE

by Margaret Helder

Reviewed by: Jonathan Dykstra (Editor, Reformed Perspective)

From the title onward, No Christian Silence on Science is a clarion call to Bible-believing, six-day creation upholding Christians to stand up and be counted. It’s much more than that too. The author, Margaret Helder, has written for the Creation Science Dialogue and Reformed Perspective (the magazine I edit) for years, and if you’ve read her there, then you know Dr. Helder approaches God and His creation with awe, and teaches us how to tackle evolution without fear. This book is very much an outgrowth of that work. This, then, is intended to equip us, so we will be able to give a ready defense of our faith, and fortify us, so we will continue to trust in God, even when we face the attacks that will come in this predominantly Darwinist and secular field.

Geophysicist Dr. John Baumgardner came to Edmonton after having delivered lectures in the Lower Mainland of B.C., and in Calgary. In Edmonton he delivered four lectures to large appreciative audiences. In all his presentations Dr. Baumgardner set the context by declaring that in our society today, secular science is used as a weapon to draw young people away from their early Christian training. Dr. Baumgardner illustrated this with images of five castles, strongholds deployed in a battle against the knowledge of God. These strongholds are Darwinian evolution, uniformitarian geology, big bang cosmology, materialist philosophy and radioisotope dating methods. During this lecture series in Edmonton, our guest speaker touched on materialist philosophy (Friday evening), Darwinian evolution (Saturday morning and afternoon) and uniformitarian geology (Saturday evening).

• 7:30 PM – How Language Powerfully Affirms God’s Reality
  Language is encoded meaning. This definition applies to human language, to computer language, to mathematics as well as to DNA. Because meaning is abstract and non-material, so is language. That the laws of physics are mathematical implies that the physical realm, like life, has linguistic underpinnings. Language therefore is a huge part of what is real. This is a powerful answer to the absurdity of materialistic philosophy which most universities today teach as dogma.

• 9:30 AM – Complimentary Continental Breakfast
• 10:00 AM – Mendel’s Accountant: Why Darwinism Fails
  Application of computer modeling on inheritance, mutation and selection reveals that progressive evolution is not the outcome of genetics.
• 12:15 PM – Carson Lueck – Leaders’ seminar on equipping our youth for the evolution/creation debate
  Carson Lueck, B.Sc. and B.Ed., shares with church leaders, especially youth pastors, the absolute necessity of holding to a biblical worldview as recorded in Genesis when it comes to the origins debate. Anyone concerned about youth is welcome.
• 2:00 PM – Human DNA Comparisons Strongly Affirm Genesis History
  Comparisons of genetic material, inherited only from our mothers, provide dramatic information about our history including strong indications that modern populations can be traced back to the daughters-in-law of Noah and all of us back to a single female ancestor (Eve) only a few thousand years ago.
• 5:45 PM – Banquet (inquire about cost and reservations for banquet to info@create.ab.ca)
• 7:30 PM – Keynote with Dr. Baumgardner –  How God Used a Farm Boy from Texas to Develop World Class Science
  How powerful new computer models developed by this scientist led to explanations as to the source of the water which covered the earth, and the source of the astounding depths of sedimentary rocks deposited on the continents during the Flood. But computer modeling can do much more to help us understand past events and present processes, and through this scientist’s eyes, we can appreciate the potential of these tools.

A prominent biology journal has withdrawn a research article which it had published a few weeks previously. The sole reason was three references to the “Creator” in connection with the structure and function (design) of the human hand. Retractions or withdrawing scientific articles from publication used to be almost unheard of. In recent years however such events have become increasingly common. The most common reason is that the information contained therein was falsified or fraudulent (made up). Read the rest of this entry »

We hear all the time about how complicated living cells are. It makes us think that such entities  were designed to work as they do. People who support the idea that all things came about by natural processes, however, do not want to think that there is a mind behind what we see in all living creatures from microbes up to the largest, most complicated organisms. These latter people want to show how the living cell developed spontaneously, without any direction. So they want to demonstrate that there were early cells which were much much simpler than what we see today, cells that could have appeared through natural processes. These scientists want to demonstrate that the barriers to spontaneous development are not too high. Read the rest of this entry »

Features World Class Scientist Dr. John Baumgardner

October 28 & 29, 2016

Dr. John Baumgardner is one of the world’s leaders in terms of significant contributions to science. He has used his expertise to develop computer models to study many aspects of our world. For example he developed a model to study how Earth’s rock systems work and have worked in the past (as for example during the Flood), weather and climate systems and how popular scientific ideas about mutation and natural selection (Darwinism) simply cannot work to produce evolution.

German astronomer and mathematician Johann Kepler (1571 –1630) was a central figure in the 17th century scientific revolution. He was not only the founder of the physical astronomy discipline, “the first astrophysist,” and an outstanding scientist, he was also a committed Christian (Morris, 1998, p. 33; Gingerich, 1993, p. 305). Kepler is best known for discovering the three laws of planetary motion that provided a foundation for Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation (Dao, 2008, p. 8). The problem that motivated the discovery of his three laws was observational astronomy did not support the circular orbit belief, and Kepler was able to determine why. Read the rest of this entry »
