DOES SCIENCE CONTRADICT CHRISTIANITY? | D. OLUWAJOJU | FINDING ANSWERS

Описание: Does science have any relationship with the Bible?

Science does have some relationships with the Bible. The speaker notes that the Bible contains things that science and archaeology have found to be true. The speaker suggests that science and Christianity are not at odds because they are describing two different things about creation.
Christianity explains the "why" of creation, such as the reason for the universe and the origin of morality.
Science describes the "how" of the universe, observing and explaining what is.
The speaker then explains that the first thing in the Bible, "God created the heavens and the earth," correlates with the scientific idea of the Big Bang, which shows the universe had a beginning. The Big Bang points to the fact that space, time, and matter came into existence at a certain point.
Applying the law of causality (everything that comes into being must have a cause), the speaker argues that the cause of the universe must be outside of space, time, and matter, therefore being spaceless, immaterial, and timeless. This cause must also be extremely powerful and intelligent because the universe is "so finely designed" and "finely tuned" (intelligent design). The cause must also be personal, having a will to choose to create. These characteristics can be attributed to God, leading to the conclusion that God is responsible for everything. The speaker cautions against the "God of the gaps fallacy," which says that whatever science cannot explain is God.
The speaker also emphasizes that the Bible is not a scientific book and its purpose is not scientific accuracy, but rather to show the story of salvation and Jesus. Scientific inaccuracies in the Bible, such as the description of the sun standing still in Joshua, do not make the Bible untrue because its focus is not science.
