“Scientific theories are simply tools made by man in order to
comprehend the machinations of the universe. They are by no means
perfect, just as humans are not perfect.” (Robidillo, 2015) [rephrased]
Our awesome chemistry professor said this. I find this very true. Major
scientific theories (such as the VSEPR) all have exceptions in them.
This brings to the consequent realization that scientific theories
should then not be used to question God, who's perfect and omnipotent. This
also means the "Big Bang Theory" or "Evolution Theory" or whatever
theory doesn't disprove nor contradict God's existence, God's creation
or God's intervention. The theories may be true or be superseded by
another theory. Newton's Law of Gravitation was superseded by Einstein's
Theory of General Relativity. Moreover, Quantum Mechanics, which was
used to discover many, many postmodern scientific breakthroughs such as
the black hole, Higgs-boson and cosmology, hinges on Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle, which is, in some sense, making assumptions from
uncertainty.
Allow me to digress.
"God does not play dice!" - Albert Einstein to Niels Bohr
Albert Einstein, the founder of Quantum Mechanics, spent his entire life destroying the very science he founded. Unfortunately he failed.
Therefore, to me, nothing changes the fact that all scientific knowledge (which is still incomplete) that mankind took millennia to discover and find out (whether it is in physics, biology or chemistry) is but a infinitesimal fraction of God's omniscience - how He thought the world should work. The manner by which the universal laws of physics are made and maintained is only possible by God's omnipotence. All I can do is to marvel at His creation and design.
