There have been almost endless debates concerning the Bible and science for at least a hundred years. Most of these debates have been relatively fruitless. Few people are willing to change their mind about such an emotional issue just because they cannot answer someone else's argument. Even worse, these debates miss and distract from the central message of the Bible.
The Bible and Science
The Bible and science are in two different realms. The Bible is a
spiritual revelation from God. Science uses observation and reason
to discover natural law. Nevertheless these realms overlap so can we
use what we have learned through science to prove or disprove the Bible?
The
Creation Story - Science, Saga, or Speaking of God?
The story of creation was written so that we could understand
something about God and His intention for man. It is a mistake to drag
it down to the uncertain realm of scientific theories. Furthermore, so-called
"creation science" is not only dubious science, it is altogether missing
the main point of the story of creation.
Another
Civilization in the Universe?
Why does life exist at all? The article about possible
evidence of life on Mars in the August 19, 1996 issue of Time magazine
called this the "most profound of all human questions". Only 2 answers
have ever been proposed. Either life is a product of chance or it has been
designed by an all-powerful God according to His purpose.
