Science & Religion

Q: My friend says that religion and science oppose each other. Is that really true?

A: I don't think so. If anything, science complements religion. The Bible leaves out the details of many things.

For example, the Bible describes the heavens as vast. But we learn through science that space is infinite. In other words, science helps us understand how vast the heavens are.

Another example might be creation. The Bible tells us that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It goes on to tells how He created everything on earth. Science suggests how God might have done all that.

I like to think of science as God revealing a bit more of Himself, His nature and even His ways to mankind. In that way, when confronted with science, I ask yourself how it might be complementary to Scripture. You should too!
