First, I do not beleive that rocks, fire, sky and water are the basic elements of the universe. This is just a quote from one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation: Thine Own Self. The themes mentioned by the quote just happened to fit the already existing yet previously unconnected motifs I had in my website and it created a good excuse for me to point out the following.



In this episode the protagonist, Data, looses his memory, but not his personality/​intelligeligence. He found himself in a preindustrial village where they named him Jayden. There a teacher was giving young children a science lesson. She was clearly using supeficial observations rather than empirical evidence to draw conclusions about the fundamental nature of the material universe. The point was obvious: modern science (involving the "scientific method" and freedom from superstition or tradition, which has landed people on the moon and cured polio, etc.) is absolutely superior to the old paradigm (which produced such conclusions as the entire world being flat just because it appeared that way). (full synopsis)

I do not disagree with that conclusion, but I find it sadly represents the attitude of thousands of self proclaimed scientists around the world today. The sad part is they stop there. They say that all they can see is all there is and they do not see the hypocracy. A thousand years ago, if someone were to try to enlighten the world about radio waves they would have been ostracized as an imbecile because no one, even scientists, back then believed in anything they could not see or trip over. The modern scientist is no more advanced because they are stared in the face by the supernatural power of God every day, and yet they still do not believe in anything they can not explain with a test tube and a calculator.

There is so much more to the universe that most of us are so unwilling to see. Consider just these few examples from the Bible: 2 Kings 6:14-18, Luke 2:8-15, and Acts 12:1-11. Stranger things still happen today but most of us never hear about them. I have dived into my Bible and called out many more interesting conclusions on my Resources for a Biblical Worldview page. I hope you enjoy the rest of my website, it has been my hobby and personal creative outlet since college. Please check it out and send me your feedback.
