The Limitations of Scientific Truth: Why Science Can't Answer Life's Ultimate Questions

by Nigel Brush

A scientist examines the inherent limitations of scientific truth and shows us why biblical truth is the only authority that can be completely trusted. For many people, science can be a seductive alternative to biblical truth—but how trustworthy are the truth claims of science? Nigel Brush, a scientist and a Christian, shows how science is only one avenue for seeking truth and how the conclusions it derives are not greater than truths acquired by other means. In this penetrating analysis of scientific inquiry, Brush examines the boundaries of scientific truth and provides reassurance that we can hold to limited scientific truth—as long as it is coupled with the absolute truth found in God's Word.

[Reagan Trotter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brush does an excellent job at pointing out the limitations of science and how that informs the Christian worldview. He exposes the empirical and cultural frameworks that blur the line of what society declares as scientific “truth.” I would highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks to defend their faith from scientific grounding- or perhaps more accurately, successfully argue against the misconception that science is the highest truth.

This book presents an excellent challenge to any 21st century reader's way of thinking about truth.

Excellent organization and defense of the central argument. The fat felt inconsistently trimmed
