Critical analysis evaluates claims of scientific evidence for a creator God, suggesting metaphysical reflection without empirical proof.
This paper examines the claim in God, Science, the Evidence that recent scientific discoveries converge toward evidence for a creator God. After clarifying the authors' relative, non-demonstrative understanding of evidence, it asks whether science crosses into metaphysics. Through cosmology, thermodynamics, and the limits of scientific models, the paper argues that neither the Big Bang nor cosmic heat death scientifically demonstrates a metaphysical beginning or end. Drawing on Dominique Lambert, Thomas Aquinas, and Ted Peters, it distinguishes creation, metaphysical beginning, and natural beginning, concluding that science may inspire metaphysical reflection but cannot establish God's existence empirically.
