“By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast” (Job 37:10 ESV). If supernatural means defying the laws of physics, then a floating ice cube would be supernatural. Okay, maybe not as impressive as God speaking the world into existence ex nihilo or promising with a rainbow never to destroy the world again with a flood. In physics, we expect the solid form of a substance to be more dense than its liquid form. However, the solid crystalline form of water is less dense than its liquid phase, causing ice to float, seemingly defying the laws of physics. The polar ice caps consequently float, instead of sinking to the bottom, and freezing the earth’s oceans from the bottom up. Living water is the basic molecule of life on earth. Humanity needs to pay more attention to our Creator. LORD, we have willingly forgotten You as the source of all blessings. May we repent and return in worship and gratitude to You our Faithful Creator. Amen and amen.
Science
Belief in Creation in 17th Century Thought
Belief in creation in 17th century thought fueled the rise of modern science. Christianity’s belief in an omnipotent, precise, and predictable Creator compelled Galileo, Newton, and Boyle. Instead of questioning if Christianity really motivated the rise of modern science, a better question would be, why just then did the Almighty allow it? “But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:7 KJV).
The Limits of Science
The limits of science must be honestly admitted by the most committed scientist. Science does not make moral or aesthetic judgments, neither does it tell you how to use scientific knowledge nor does it address the supernatural. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, Carl Sagan once said. “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20 KJV).
