A note on the philosophy of science

At the end of KEC John Lennox asked that we not write up his material on the internet, because that is unhelpful to him, otherwise there'd be much to say. I wasn't sure whether he was primarily referring to his bonus talk on Has Science Buried God?, some of which he is currently writing into another book. They were hoping to make that talk available but I can't see it on the site as yet.

However, his first bible talk on Genesis 37-50 was very interesting, though it was only possible for him to skate over large ideas, and in it he had one simple line, which concurred with CS Lewis's thoughts I posted here (as other things he said did also), and that was: "Scientists study something that's given with something that's given". True. He then cast a glance at Hebrews 11:3 and said "if these people were so primitive, how did they know that information was invisible?".

You just have to pause a moment and feel the weight of the philosophy of science behind those statements.
