1 | Scientific Cosmology vs. bible teaching. | Bible general Archive 1 | True_Believer | 59801 | ||
As a former hard core humanist who has been sprinkled with Christ's Blood, I cannot easily shed some of the more lucid and well documented theories such as the age of the Universe. It is easy to dismiss evolution's more outragious claims but the elegance of the Cosmological principles and the geological age of the earth are not so easy to dismiss. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve the disparities between what scienc knows and what the bible teaches in this regard? | ||||||

True_Believer, hello. Contrary to what some may claim, there may not be any genuine disparities between what the scientific community really knows about creation, including the age of the cosmos, the origin of life, etc. and the biblical account. There is, of course, a wide chasm between the views of creationists and evolutionists. A good web site to know and visit is icr.org. Many of your questions I suspect are addressed on this site and you may find many of the answers and discussions both illuminating and encouraging. I recommend this site to fellow Christians without reservation. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank: You mention, "what the scientific community really knows about creation." Is there a creation for some (namely atheists) in the scientific community? (Heb. 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.) Since the scientific community is made up of believers and unbelievers (which means that some don't believe there is a creation), is it united on what it knows about creation? Therefore, shouldn't the question of supposed disparities be a qustion for believing scientists only (i.e. icr.org, as you noted) without reference to the scientific community as a whole? Peace, |

Hello, Lionstrong! I'm not sure how to respond to your comment and questions, but I'll try. To my mind, the issues of faith and the issues of pure scientific evidence (that which can be conclusively proved) are separate entities. Thus my reasoning and comments were meant to be along these lines: How much can science prove (what does it actually know, apart from faith) about the origin of the universe, of man, etc. -- all theories aside? The dichotomy in our education system, for example, is that a theory (evolution) -- a mere theory, unproved and some would say unprovable -- is being fed to students as pure science, as fact, as truth; and at the same time, creationism which has at least an equal chance of being as viable a "theory" as evolutionism, is prohibited from being taught. So what we have in some sectors of the so-called scientific community is not good science at all but in fact a godless religion (that's what the theory of evolution has really become) being taught as scientific truth. I really don't know whether I've addressed your questions well, or indeed whether at all, but this is at least a pale effort to do so. Grace and peace and best wishes to you, long-time fellow forumite! --Hank | ||||||
