Science And The Bible

Does the Bible and science contradict?

Based from a research, in the early Classical Antiquity, the Earth was generally believed to be flat. Greek philosophers were prone to form that the Earth’s shape was a short cylinder with a flat, circular top. The Greeks are that time are considered to be the source of knowledge. The assumption was widely accepted by the people for a long time. I even heard that the church accepted this teaching and that no one could question it until Ferdinand Magellan tour circumnavigate the globe and proved that the earth was spherical in shape, although modern scientists say that the earth’s shape is not a perfect circle, rather an oblate spheriod. But did you know that the Bible was correct all along! “There is one dwelling above the circle of the earth”, found in Isaiah 40:22.

Do you know your ancestors? Do you believe that we all came from monkeys? Based from Charles Darwin theory of evolution, we came from the evolution of apes. Atheists say that it is impossible that we came from one man, that the story of creation was a joke. But recent scientific discoveries about DNA (Deoxy Ribose Nucleic Acid) the string of life, have found out that we all came from one DNA! So how could one person multiply to a billion people? Amazing, isn’t it?

So, did the creation of things took place in just six days? According to the Bible, a thousand years for God is a day and a day a thousand of days. But science and the Bible agreed that the humans were the last one being created. “My thoughts are far above from yours” says the Lord.

Science is based only on human knowledge and is limited. Science can’t explain all things around you since Human knowledge is only limited. There was even a scientific article that suggests that only five percent of the things are known. Just like the ever expanding universe, science gains knowledge on discoveries one after another. Science can’t actually tell where are the ends of the universe.

So what does science’s role in the Bible? As more scientific facts are being discovered , the Bible gains more. Science verifies the Bible and go along. Even if the details differ, the essential elements are the same.

But let me remind you my friend, the Bible’s main purpose is for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living (Timothy 3:16). The Bible is the book of life composed of many books from different authors, from different times and ages which centers to faith, and all about God. To see is to believe as they say, but I live on faith and not by sight. Do you believe that you have a mind? Did you saw your mind? According to the Bible, So the thing that can be seen are made of unseen. Atoms and quarks can’t be seen, but they do exist! And they made up things which are seen!

Trust the Lord!
