Natural theology and modern science: an exposition on emerging scientific proofs for God’s existence in Christianity
The existence of God has been a subject of much debate in the history of Philosophy and for the problem to still be generating papers in the contemporary circle reveals that the problem is far from being solved. This paper examines Natural Theology which is the attempt to provide rational proofs for...

| 520 | |a The existence of God has been a subject of much debate in the history of Philosophy and for the problem to still be generating papers in the contemporary circle reveals that the problem is far from being solved. This paper examines Natural Theology which is the attempt to provide rational proofs for God‟s existence without the standpoint of any religion. Science, on the other hand has played significant roles in the history of religion, while developments in the sciences have contradicted biblical claims. This paper discusses the meeting point in religion and science, with a view to discussing the new proofs emerging from the domains of science for the existence of God. This is done by discussing natural theology and its journey so far, which includes the various arguments philosophers have employed to prove God‟s existence. This paper also discusses the nature of the unique relationship between science and theology. The strengths and weaknesses of these arguments are analyzed and conclusion drawn from them. This paper employs Ian Barbour‟s Critical Realism Theory which is the correspondence of truth with reality and the key criterion is agreement of theory with data to assess the emerging scientific proofs of God‟s existence. This is done with a view to drawing the conclusion that God‟s existence is a reality. | ||
