Pocket Guide to... What Is Science?

Understanding observable vs. historical science. Does science, by definition, have to be materialistic? Is there a difference between operational science and historical science? Does a belief in biblical creation help or hinder scientific inquiry? Have creation scientists made any successful predictions? Today, there is a debate over the nature of science. Secularists claim that science must be naturalistic - that we cannot allow any supernatural causes. They also claim that the science that leads us to today's technology is no different than the science that assumes it can see billions of years into the past to tell us about our origins. Other scientists distinguish between observable/operational science and historical science. This booklet will help you to understand the debate and come to conclusions that are based on the authority of God's Word.
