Science and Religion

Science is a process of discovery through our senses and is limited to what can be discerned by them. This may be why science has been in a storm of controversy for over two centuries. Some people do not understand the limitations of science and expect science to prove God. Some scientists think that God cannot exist if He can’t be found using the scientific method. As a result, many unnecessary clashes between misinformed Christians and misinformed scientists have made it seem “unchristian” to study science. This is nonsense. If something is true, we have nothing to fear from it. The God of the Bible and the God of nature are one. The religion of Jesus Christ and the science of nature are fully compatible. We may not understand both completely but problems can be resolved if we know enough about the Bible and science. Both are from the pen of the same Author. Christians need to see the Earth as the product of our caring Creator. We can do no less than treat the Earth from that perspective.
