Science & The Bible

Defining “Science”

Two basic types of science:• Operational Science: Uses observable,

repeatable experiments to try to discover truth

• Origin Science: Relies on relics from the past and historical records to try to discover truth

Main Difference: Operation science is based upon the

present whereas origin science is based upon the past.

Not All Scientists Endorse Evolutionary Theory

Dr. Raymond Damadian:• Young-earth Creationist • Credited by many as “the man

who invented the MRI scanner.” • He has received numerous

awards for his work.• Inducted into the National

Inventors Hall of Fame in 1989

“When our research is based upon biblical truths about the past, we find that our interpretations of the biological and geological

facts make sense of what we see in the real world, whereas

evolutionary interpretations don’t really fit what we see.”

Geology:

“…geologists have begun to

recognize that catastrophic

processes are a better

explanation for many of the earth’s rock

layers.” - http://www.answersingenesis.org 

Genesis 7:19And the waters

prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under

the whole heaven were covered.

Time/The Universe Had a Beginning

"The conclusion of this lecture is that the universe has

not existed forever. Rather, the

universe, and time itself, had a

beginning…" - Stephen Hawking (1942- ) “The

Beginning of Time”

But we speak the wisdom of

God in a mystery, the

hidden wisdom which God

ordained before the ages for our

glory,

The Cessation of Creation

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the

universe can and will create itself from

nothing," he writes. "Spontaneous creation is

the reason there is something rather than

nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.”

Number of Stars:

• Brahe guessed 777.• Kepler claimed 1,005.• Hipparchus found 1,022• Ptolemy raised the

number to 1,056. • Today many scientists

have admitted, “Space is probably infinite…”

Astronomical Foreknowledge•Pleiades and Orion (Constellations) gravitationally bound star groups.

Job 38:31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the

belt of Orion?

Earth: Controlled by the Heavens

(Job 38:33) Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set

their dominion over

the earth?

Cosmology/Astronomy:

Astronomical Foreknowledge: Earth is a Sphere• Taught and believed that the earth was flat until Christopher Columbus proved otherwise in 1492

Isaiah 40:22 “It is He who

sits above the circle of the earth…”

He stretches out the

space; He hangs the earth on nothing.

Physics:

ThermodynamicsEvolutionary thought describes a universe that is evolving and becoming more highly organized and complex.

Psalm 102:25–26Of old You laid the

foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26

They will perish…they will all grow old like a

garment…

Physics:

Movement of LightSir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727) is accredited for having discovered the movement of light .

Job 38:19–20 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light?

And darkness, where is its place, 20 That you

may take it to its territory, That you may know the paths to its

home?

Gen. 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, [each] according to

its kind"; and it was so.

Oceanography:

Order of Creation •The Bible tells us that earth began as a “water world.”

•Alfred Wegener discovered Pangaea in 1915. After discovering the idea of tectonic plates.

Psalm 104:66 You covered it with the deep as

with a garment; The waters stood above

the mountains.

Oceanography:

Valleys & Springs Exist on the Bottom of the Sea (1872-1876) British scientists aboard HMS Challenger is credited with providing the first real view of major seafloor features such as the deep ocean basins.

have you walked in search of the depths?

Oceanography:

Ocean Currents & Channels exist in the SeaMatthew Fontaine Maury (1806-1873) became “Father of Modern Oceanography and Naval Meteorology" and later, "Scientist of the Seas“ by studying the Bible.

Bernard Palissy Credited in the 16th century to be the scientist who compiled the theories that existed for years and "wrote" our modern hydrological cycle.

water, Which distill as rain from the mist, 28 Which the clouds drop down And pour

abundantly on man.

turn and cover your refuse.

Source of Life:

Evolution Teaches:• life originated from nonliving matter

without intervention from any intelligent being.

Evolution Teaches:• different species have a common

ancestor.

The Bible Teaches:

Gen. 1:11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb [that] yields seed, [and] the fruit tree [that] yields fruit

according to its kind, whose seed [is] in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

Gen. 1:21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded,

according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.

Gen. 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living

creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, [each] according to its kind"; and it was so.

Source of Life:

•Life from life…

•Animals giving breed after their kind…

•Life originates from nothing…

•Animals giving breed to new species…
