Further to my ambitious recent post about TF Torrance on science, here is a quote from Lesslie Newbigin which has some overlap:
Like all visions of ultimate truth, science is necessarily involved in a circular argument. It has to assume from the beginning the truth of what it seeks to prove. It begins from the conviction that the universe is acessible to rational understanding, it refuses to accept as final evidence that which seems to contradict this faith, and it seeks with a passion which is one of the glories of human history to prove that the faith is true.
(p.48, The Gospel in a pluralist society)
