Explain, in your own words, why and how Christians should embrace science.
-
Christians should embrace science because it reveals the character of our creator God. It shows his creativity and majesty.
-
Christians should embrace science recognizing that the Bible is not at war with science. More and more of the scientific discoveries are confirming what the Bible says about creation and human history. We need to be aware of and study the questions that arise. We need to help our students be prepared for the controversial issues that they will likely face helping them know the biblical worldview for this issues.
-
Christians should embrace science because science is the study of God’s glory in created things (Ps 19:1; Isa 6:3; Rom 11:36). From mountains to the stars to the sea to ice cream to humanity, everything was made by Christ and for Christ (Col 1:16). Therefore, Christians should embrace science as a scavenger hunt for God’s glory. They should view the complexity and uniformity of nature in light of Christ who is the Creator and Redeemer of the universe (Col 1:19-20).
-
Science is the study of all of God’s creation in the natural world. Studying science in light of the Bible can give us great appreciation of who God is–magnificent Creator.
-
Christians have the “inside scoop” so to speak, on the existence and beauty of purposeful design. Instead of fearing science, we get to encounter nature with the curiosity of children who want to better understand their Father’s ideas and ways. We know that it’s not neutral but “good”. The information we learn can lead to doing good and loving others as part of God’s plan- inventing medicines, solutions in agriculture, and so on.
