I was asked the
question once, “If the world declared only one could exist—either science or
religion, which would win?” It is my
belief religion would win because a person’s faith goes far beyond anything
earthly. It is true science gives the
world great things; technology and medical advances are only two. But for all the great things, it seems science “proves” the Bible rather than disproving it! It has taken thousands of years for details
to be “discovered,” but as research continues, the Scientists are validating
what God already knew!
Science begins
with a problem and sets before themselves a method of testing their idea as
true or untrue. By doing this they are
answering many questions yet unexplained.
One of these is our universe.
While the Bible declares there is a universe Created by God, science can
describe in great detail the universe from a scientific perspective. It can name the stars, the galaxies and
even when phenomenon is going to occur long before it does. But I contend the Bible alludes to the
creation of the universe specifically enough, that in reality scientists are proving what the Bible says. Even
the idea of “Thermodynamics” which says the universe is wearing out was
declared in Psalms 102.
Scientist have
discovered light, described as electromagnetic radiation, has a “way” of
traveling 186,000 miles a second and that stars emit radio waves! The waves send a sound that some might
describe as “song” which is how it is described in the book of Job!
Another interesting
scientific discovery relates to atoms, which are positive and negative charges
of electricity. Matter is made up of
invisible tiny particles which we cannot see.
This too, is actually a confirmation of what is found in the Bible.
I heard once that it
would be impossible to be both a Scientist and a Christian. I completely disagree, since to be a Scientist, I
think it would be reverse.
How can you be a Scientist and not believe in God? Over and over, Science is proving what was
recorded centuries ago!
Science alone is meaningful but can not fill the void that can only be filled through faith. Faith comes from within bringing internal peace, joy, comfort, moral values and a meaningful life focus. You could take away all my earthly possessions, which in many instances, without science could not be, but you can not take away my faith. It is my belief system. It is what gives me the capability of dealing with life’s every day problems and the ability to be content and joyful for all that I have and all I am.

Science can not
give contentment. A person can find
satisfaction in a job well done when his accomplishments are accepted and
worthwhile. But this will not help his soul. His inner most self will continue to search
and will be haunted with emptiness, until filled with the Holy Spirit which gives a faith and peace that can only be found through God.
So
as a Believer, I can contentedly wait and watch, as Science eventually
proves the Bible right, because it has proven over and over again, what Science
has “discovered” was already written in the Word.
