You must have had very bad science teachers if they thought this kind of proof, proving the non-existence of something, was how science is done.
Now Why would you say such a thing?
perhaps you can tell me how it was possible that Emmanuel Kant found the full description on the origins of the Universe from Genesis, which incidentally was proven correct by Hulley in 1925?
How is it possible that science are using Kant's Nebular theory which he described in 1655, which perhaps all atheists forgot where their science came from. Genesis!
Or perhaps you can explain how La Plass ( and Atheist who hated the description of Kant) attempted to explain Kant's description away, with his theory that the planets popped out of the Sun. Which incidentally was also proved false with the use of the laws of Triangular Momentum.
I have spoken to many, Many Atheists over the past years, and have not found one that could tell me how it is possible that Genesis could give such details about the origins of the Solar Systen, and therefore the Universe.
Perhaps you dont know that the Bible made the first claim that Time is a constructed entity, and does not exist.
I don't say that the Bible is a scientific book, I say that the Bible is the only ancient book, that gives a description on how the Creator created everything, and as science progressed in the West, the Biblical description was never wrong.
On the contrary, it was the scientific minds in the West under the influence of the Bible that developed science to what we have today.
As CS Lewis said, the scientist over the past 500 years believed in the laws of Nature, because they believed in the Law Giver.
No other influence in history had an affect on science as the Bible and the Believer in Christ had.
China was perhaps 2 000 years ahead of the West, yet as soon as the Bible was translated in the vulgar language, the scientific thought bloomed to produce the fruits we have today.
I did not have bad teachers of science.
Newton, Mendel, Kepler, Boyle, Faraday, Maxwell, Dalton Gibbs, Thomson, Volta, Blaise Pascal, Babage, Steno, and hundreds more.
I think they were excellent scientific teachers. And may I add, Christians.
