Science is a systematic process used to study the natural world and develop testable laws and theories about the universe. Science is performed through observation of natural phenomena and experimentation which attempts to replicate natural processes under controlled conditions.

Creationists, differentiate between operational science and origins science. Operational science is defined as science which deals with observable, repeatable, and testable phenomenon such as the laws of gravity, the structure of the cell, or chemical reactions. Origins science, on the other hand, deals with questions of an unobservable nature: hypotheses about events which only occurred once by their very nature, and which therefore cannot be repeated, tested, or observed.

Regular patterns occur throughout nature which are defined by mathematicians and offer power evidence of intelligent design. The atoms in a crystal are arranged in a pattern, as are the atoms in the DNA molecule, the stripes on an angelfish, the movement of the legs of a centipede. These patterns frequently help to identify and determine the characteristics of a species. A fibonacci sequence of quarter-circles inside squares, estimating the Golden spiral.The fibonacci numbers are one such pattern that are described by a mathematical relationship. They are a sequence of numbers that can be found in many organisms, such as the spiral patterns in the heads of sunflowers. God has arranged sunflower seeds without gaps in the most efficient way by forming two spirals. The ratio of these spirals varies from one kind of sunflower to another. In the simplest form of this sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 . . . .

Other examples: A similar double spiral occurs in the Norway Spruce cone with a ratio of 5 scales in one direction and 3 in the other. The pattern of the common larch is 8 to 5, and of the American larch, 5 to 3.

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton is credited with many scientific and mathematical contributions and is considered by many to be the father of modern science. Along with being an ardent believer in the Bible and Genesis, he was a physicist, a mathematician, an astronomer, a philosopher, and an alchemist.

He said: "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."(Perloff, p241.)

And also: All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.(Perloff, p241.)

"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle." - Francis Crick (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology and Medicine), Life Itself, Its Origin and Nature (1981), p. 88.
