God and Science – Are They Compatible?
|
| How did the universe start and the earth come to be, along with
the life forms that now inhabit it – including man? Various
branches of science have put forth compelling ideas, many of which
seem to conflict with the biblical narrative of creation in Genesis
chapters 1-3. Darwinian evolution is taught as accepted fact in most
academic institutions, yet in scientific research circles a
diversity of opinion exists – a diversity independent of biblical
influence. Theologians have weighed in over the years as well, many
of whom are excellent scientists, and here too a diversity of
opinion has been expressed. The issue has far reaching implications
for many people who wrestle to be true to God and true to the ‘scientific
record’. Are science and Christianity compatible on this issue? A
thoughtful view that may challenge your mind and heart in ways you’ve
never before considered will be presented. |
