Science would be impossible

"Science would be impossible without the truth of the Christian worldview" -Justin Holcomb, from the Resurgence on "Why Science Needs the Christian Worldview".  It's a short, clear article that makes 9 arguments of how nature and our human experience point to God. Without from the world's functioning as a rational, uniform and 'fit together' sort of place, studying nature in a systematic way (a.k.a. science) would have been pointless. 

In fact the presupposition that we live in a designed place and can study it because it is consistent (not random) occurred because of a Christian worldview of a Creator designing all that we see (and don't see). Think of our friends Mr. Newton, Mr. Da Vinci, Mr. Galileo- though their thinking got them in trouble in their day, it also came from this worldview. 

Today science assumes nature has a rational order but takes God out of the picture and, in some cases, mocks those who believe in God or an intelligent designer. These 9 reasons encourage my timid, fearful self who can feel insecure about being a Christian in science. I hope they challenge someone who would be opposed to a Christian worldview and start a discussion, too.
