SCIENCE AND CERTAINTY

Science does not seek absolute certainty—though it would if that were possible. Even if a religious authority claimed that evidence alone must suffice, science would continue to pursue understanding and reduce uncertainty. Its method emphasizes the collection and evaluation of evidence, celebrating what is learned while acknowledging that knowledge is provisional.

Science is neutral regarding supernatural causes. It does not assume God will or will not intervene, nor does it claim that God cannot provide certainty. If God were to speak directly or provide certainty in a way that could be observed, science would incorporate that information into its understanding. The method would remain neutral—it does not favor or oppose God—but its scope of empirical investigation would expand to include the observed phenomenon.

In this sense, science remains a tool for reducing uncertainty, while remaining methodologically neutral. It neither affirms nor denies the existence or actions of God, but it can respond to evidence of divine intervention if such evidence were observable.

A conflict would arise if it is the case that all is to be done for God and his glory.
