Are miracles anti-science?
Dr Robert Gentry, the world’s expert on polonium radiohalos, has interpreted the rings found in granite as being the radioactive result of short-lived polonium decay trapped the instant these foundational rocks were formed.10 A natural, very slow cooling mechanism for such rocks would not allow such rings to be formed. Such a theory would be denied even possible validity by modern naturalism. Gentry has recently rebutted his critics in this journal.11 Isaac Newton always affirmed that his concept of force was not an ultimate explanation at all, but merely a postulate used to explain observations. Observed forces need not be inevitably associated with, nor caused by matter, which made it easier for him and other Christians to accept the notion of miracles. Moreland8 and others12 have also pointed out that natural laws merely describe physical behavior and do not actually cause anything. Notice the significance of Dembski’s metaphysical viewpoint above. Mathematical laws can be devised t
