SCIENCE AND RELIGION

SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Contrary to the belief of many, the two subjects are not contradictory. Numerous are those curious people, who have not penetrated the matter sufficiently, so they have arrived at erroneous conclusions.
The principles involved in the vast field of knowledge called "science" have all been established, set in motion and maintained by the Creator God of the universe. Many prejudiced people deny His existence and/or limit His action and do not recognize Him as a Person with whom they have to deal.
The totality of the 66 books of the canons of the Old Testament and the New Testament were inspired by God as was the writing of the actual words. So the Creator is at the origin of both science and the Holy Bible. It is neither logical nor common sense that would suppose that the One source of scientific and religious knowledge would contradict Himself. The major and broadly accepted reason for conjecturing there is a conflict between science and the Bible is due to dishonest research and the permission to let stand ideas that are not based on fact.
Why the supposed conflict? It is due to the fact that we understand fully neither science nor the Bible. The current scientific knowledge at hand is by nature inexact. If it were not so, there would be no further need for research.
Scientists are changing their theories and conclusions on a regular basis. I could cite some scientific facts I was taught in school which are now totally rejected. The Holy Bible has not changed, but the process of verifying some of the statements it makes, has taken continuous and ardent work. One example would be the work of archeologists, scientists in their own right. They have been confirming over and over again what the Bible has stated in the historical and scientific realms. Those results are denied by the naysayers and the prejudiced. Therefore, if there are apparent contradictions, it is due to the fact that neither science nor the Bible are understood perfectly.
Scientific knowledge continues to be discovered. The Bible, however, remains a constant. Some of its parts were written about 3,500 years ago. All has come down to us today and the Bible remains the world's bestseller. Does that help?
