The deaf man has no right to deny the existence of sound just because he cannot hear. Likewise, because scientific knowledge is limited the study of the cosmos, it is insufficient to make the claim that only the cosmos exist. As it would be ridiculous for the deaf man to demand audio evidence before he believed in the existence of sound, it is ridiculous for empiricists to demand empirical evidence before they will believe in an invisible and immaterial God. Unless you are willing to believe by faith that all knowledge is limited to scientific knowledge and embrace the awful consequences, then it is hypocritical to say, ‘Science has killed God.’ If science has killed God, then science has killed mathematics and the laws of morality along with Him. If scientific knowledge is all that there is, then science has killed logic as well. And once logic is dead, frankly, we have no reason to believe in anything. For science to be trustworthy, it requires logic and ethics to remain alive and well. Since it is self-evident that truth is not limited to scientific knowledge, then it is impossible for science to kill God.
