The Objection
Science explains the natural world through natural causes — God is an unnecessary hypothesis.
The Response
Science explains how the universe operates, not why it exists at all. Fine-tuning of physical constants, the origin of life, and consciousness all point beyond matter. Many of history's greatest scientists were devout Christians.

The Objection
Darwin's theory of evolution explains the diversity of life without any need for a Creator.
The Response
Evolution addresses biological change over time — it does not address the origin of life, the origin of the universe, the fine-tuning of physical constants, or the emergence of consciousness. Many committed Christians accept some form of evolution while maintaining that God is the ultimate Creator.
