Can a scientist believe in the resurrection?
To explain how a scientist can be a Christian is actually quite simple. Science cannot and does not disprove the resurrection. Natural science describes the normal reproducible working of the world of nature. Indeed, the key meaning of ânatureâ, as Boyle emphasized, is âthe normal course of events.â Miracles like the resurrection are inherently abnormal. It does not take modern science to tell us that humans donât rise from the dead. People knew that perfectly well in the first century; just as they knew that the blind from birth donât as adults regain their sight, or water doesnât instantly turn into wine.
