Man's systematized reason, such as philosophy and science, cannot discover truth.
...At best, science is educated guesses. Albert Einstein told a colleague, Dr. Chaim Tschernowitz, "We know nothing about (the universe) at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren...” He said the most science can ever hope for is that "possibly we shall know a little more than we do now. But the real nature of things, that we shall never know — never."
All science can tell us about the entities it studies is how those entities, if they exist, appear to affect measuring instruments. No scientist can "prove" that matter exists, or that life is not a dream, or that the earth wasn't created an hour ago.
And that is sufficient for the legitimate purpose of science, which is to utilize nature for the good of man -- not to discover truth. Truth is revealed by God in His Word, the Bible, not found in a test tube or theoretical physics.
Charles Spurgeon said, "What though men call you narrow-minded for cleaving to 'old truth' — now obsolete, as they say; for 'worship of a book,' or 'bibliolatry,' as they call it; for the stern refusal to lower our testimony to our glorified Lord and coming King? Let us be content — be honored — to bear reproach for Him and His word. The glory to be given us at His appearing will more than compensate for all!"
