The Scientific Method

But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.”
(Acts 8:9-10) NKJV

One of the ways that popular science (SciPop) attempts to be rigorous and hold itself accountable is through use of something called the scientific method. It’s a systematic approach to investigation.

Is Simple Still Best?

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
(John 8:31-32) NKJV

If we’re supposed to accept the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions, lets compare how many assumptions have been made in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) vs. Matty’s Paradigm.

The Shifting Sands of Mainstream Science

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
(Matthew 7:24-27) KJV

Truth is absolute, unchanging. Mainstream science (SciPop) is in continual flux. They’re mutually exclusive. The scientific method is designed to make finding the truth impossible, even by accident.

Radiometric Dating is Pseudoscience

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so-called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) KJV

Radiometric dating is an example of inductive reductive circular reasoning. It requires the assumption that nuclear decay rates are constant and an unwarranted application of the half-life rate law to nuclear decay.

Nuclear decay rates,
the half-life rate law.

Characteristics of the Heart

The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.
(Jeremiah 23:30) NKJV

In the Bible the heart does a lot more thinking than our minds do. This runs counter to conventional medical wisdom about the brain and heart, but are we worried about running counter to convention?

Attributes of The Soul

Jesus said to him, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”
(Matthew 22:37) NKJV

The Bible considers human life to be a trinity of spirit, soul and body. The spirit and soul are invisible. The body, comprising both the body and blood, is visible. The attributes of the soul are listed in scripture.

The Spirit Inhabits the Blood

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
(Leviticus 17:11) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) deduce that the spirit, a vapor, inhabits the blood through the action of the Hemoglobin molecule and it powers metabolism. The spirit quite literally animates a body and makes it biologically alive.

Dividing Between Soul and Spirit

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Hebrews 4:12) KJV

We asked: what’s the difference between the soul and spirit? We concluded that the spirit is the breath that animates us and gives us life, but that the soul is our consciousness and personality.

What is God?

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 2:14-16) KJV

If human life is a trinity of spirit, soul and body, and the Bible teaches us that this is copied from God, who is a trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, then what can we deduce about the nature of God?

One Life to Live

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9) KJV

God created the Earth’s environment and our physical bodies as a way of giving each soul an opportunity to come to know the truth about God and choose for themselves whether or not they want to have fellowship with him in eternity.
