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.

The New Scientific Knowledge

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Knowledge and facts are things which ought to be true regardless of what we believe about God or the origin of the universe. Therefore, something which is only true in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) isn’t knowledge.

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.

Walking in Imagination

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

(Jeremiah 11:8) KJV

Popular culture wants you to believe that truth is relative and that we all have our own. If you can imagine it, you can believe it. If you believe it, then it’s true for you. This perfectly summarizes the state of popular science (SciPop) today as seen in the way that the Hawking Effect has been used to modify the scientific method.

The Hawking Effect

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

One of our favorite books is “A Brief History of Time,” by Stephen Hawking. In this and his other books Hawking expands use of the scientific method as an inductive tool. He opened up the realm of plausibility. In so doing he redefined the term “scientific knowledge.”

The Truth Is Unscientific

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

( John 4:24 ) KJV

The scientific method is a philosophical contrivance designed to make finding the truth impossible. In a twist of irony, the scientific method may be used to demonstrate that the scientific method is a farce.
