The argument that modern science is objective, and that the Christian must therefore accept its conclusions with regard to the fact of evolution is answered from the standpoint of the philosophy of science. Scientific method is examined in order to highlight the hierarchy of explanatory frameworks which guide the scientist in his research. Paleo- and neo-science are then analyzed in order to reveal the radical differences between them in regard to these frameworks. It is concluded that the frameworks of paleo-science (of which Darwinism is a prime example) cannot be scientifically proven or disproven. In order to gain empirical import these frameworks must be combined with frameworks of neo-science, and it is only the latter which can be scientifically tested. In the adoption and retention of paleo-scientific frameworks, philosophical and religious commitments are primary. The implications of this situation are discussed.
