Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case For Christianity
Reasonable Faith is a concise, easy-to-read book that
outlines the scientific evidence which supports the
Christian Faith. It begins by highlighting the physical,
chemical, and biological evidence indicating that the world
was designed. It shows that the intricate, delicate
balance between the millions of processes supporting life
is simply beyond the reach of chance. This world (and the
universe as a whole) must have been created. In the words
of Sir Frederick Hoyle (England’s greatest astrophysicist),
"The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me
so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond
question."
Reasonable Faith does not stop there, however. Once it
uses the natural sciences to determine that this world must
have been created, it uses the social and historical
sciences to show that the Creator is, in fact, the God of
the Bible. It demonstrates that the Bible is the most
unique book in all of human history, indicating that there
is something very special about the Book. It goes on to
prove that according to the rules established by
historians, the Bible is the best source of history for its
time. This gives an enormous amount of credibility to the
accounts written in it. Reasonable Faith also shows why,
from a scientific point of view, one cannot reject the
miraculous accounts in the Bible. Indeed, the author
spends a great deal of time documenting the extrabiblical
evidence that these miracles did, in fact, occur.
The final arguments for the divine nature of the Bible rest
in its unparalleled accuracy at predicting the future and
its knowledge of scientific principles that were beyond the
abilities of its authors. Reasonable Faith documents
several Old-Testament rules that are indicative of a
highly-advanced scientific mind. Some of the medical
benefits of the Old Testament regulations are just now
being understood in terms of our most recent scientific
research. In addition, the author discusses several
prophecies in Scripture that history shows have come true
word for word. Since these prophecies can be documented to
have existed before the events took place, this is powerful
evidence for divine inspiration. Finally, the author
spends the last chapter discussing his own personal
experiences as a scientist who is also a Christian. His
frank testimony speaks volumes for the discrimination
against religious belief that exists in the scientific
community.
The author, Dr. Jay L. Wile, holds an earned Ph.D. in

major universities and was also a part of the team that
designed Indiana’s residential high school for gifted and
talented students. He has published more than 30 articles
in the peer-reviewed journals of his field, and has
lectured extensively on the Creation / Evolution debate,
