Perfect Harmony Of Science And Gods Word

Have you ever contemplated the actual scientific explanation of the mysteries the creation or the many unexplained events that sound impossible that you read about in the Bible? This author will take you to the far ends of the universe, from the star and planets to the grand canyon and beyond. It is mind boggling just how deep he gets into the scientific explanation of the mysteries prophesies of yesterday. today, and what is to come. This has helped me to better understand Gods word by using this mans hours of study and research and soul searching contemplation as he explored Gods truths; which are so often difficult to grasp. He fought with words and was a Christian warier to the end.

Rather than discord between science and Christian faith, there is a harmony as grand as any choral masterpiece The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it's an idea that's being proved to be insupportable. Sy Garte has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. Now this respected scientist shares how God's world (nature and science) and God's word (made flesh in Christ) are bound together in loving harmony. In Science and Faith in Harmony, Garte examines modern scientific concepts and what they can teach us about theological truths, such as the dual nature of Christ. He explores the ways in which the terminology and language of science and faith consistently match each other. Despite his deep dives into theology and science, Garte does not get overly technical in his writing. Instead, he is personal and passionate, speaking directly to readers with a tone of joy and wonder, inviting them to join the chorus of praise to the Lord. Readers still wondering whether the truths of science and Christian faith are in conflict need this book. Following the path of Christ and holding a scientific worldview at the same time is not only possible but also leads to a fuller, richer life of harmony and truth.

What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions: Young Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe) Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos) Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute) The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly? This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ.

"Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9. "Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?" T> ETWEEN the revealed will of God as contained in the Bible and those laws and facts which are apparent to all there must be perfect harmony; for, if not, we are confronted with a want of unity of purpose and design in the words and acts of the Creator. So satisfied was our blessed Lord that the works of Nature rightly observed necessarily led to an acceptance of the truths of Revelation that He often referred to them. Although consideration for others characterised all His teaching, yet, in a secondary point E of view, with how many of His miracles is not the Student in Physical Science specially interested: -- Water into wine--walking on the Sea--calming the tempest--feeding multitudes--the obtaining of tribute money--the barren fig-tree--the miraculous draught of fishes. If we turn to the Parables--those appeals to something real in life or nature from which moral or spiritual instruction may be drawn--on what does Jesus Christ lay the foundation of His teaching?--on observations of the Laws of Nature. The Sower--Tares--Leaven--Pearls-- Sheep--Money --Vines--Seed--Fish; these single words will be suggestive. The comprehensiveness of the Sermon on the Mount, in regard to Physical Science, has been referred to on a former occasion (page 6). Let the first Sermon Moses preached as the years of his life were closing (Deut. iv.) be examined. The people are directed not only to know the Law but to obey it, and...

A scientist explores the harmony between Christian faith and science Though some Christians and many skeptics see science and Christianity as locked in a never-ending battle, geologist Gregg Davidson contends that there is tremendous harmony between Scripture and modern science. Many apparent conflicts arise when the Bible is interpreted apart from its literary and historical contexts, but when these are taken into account, most alleged clashes resolve. Proceeding from a belief that Scripture is inspired and without error and that God's creation should inform how we interpret the Bible, Davidson shows that Scripture and science need not disagree on issues like the age of the earth, Adam and Eve, Noah's flood, the origin and development of life, and numerous related topics. Rather, Christians can rejoice at how God's glory is revealed in both the Bible and the natural world.
