Vern Poythress's work Redeeming Science presents a comprehensive Christian theological framework for understanding science and the natural world. Poythress critiques the current state of science education for emphasizing rote memorization over genuine exploration, and addresses the broader cultural malaise and loss of unified purpose in Western civilization. A central argument is that scientific laws are a form of God's Word, reflecting divine attributes such as immutability, truthfulness, and power, which provides a basis for scientific inquiry. The text also examines the relationship between the Bible and science, discussing various interpretations of the Genesis creation accounts—including young-earth, day-age, and analogical day theories—and engaging with modern concepts like evolution, intelligent design, and methodological naturalism. Ultimately, Poythress seeks to demonstrate how a biblical worldview affirms the legitimacy and value of science by showing that scientific success relies on the consistency and character of the Trinitarian God.
