According to Psalm 19 and other passages, there are two sources of revelation from GOD. First is of course the Scriptures! Psalm 19:7, “The law (Torah) of the LORD is perfect…” Psalm 12:6, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” 2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine…”

The other source of revelation from GOD is His creation or Natural Theology. Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of GOD; and the firmament showeth his handywork.” Also, in the New Testament we read, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:19-20).

So then, science and Scripture are supposed to be brothers in arms, revealing the Creator. Yet the Devil, it seems has successfully turned them into enemies like Cain and Abel!

There is a warning in 1 Timothy 6:20 “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:” When we think of “science” sometimes we think of people in white robes working in laboratories, but the word science means knowledge or that which we KNOW! (from Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge”). Science is more than Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Physics. It also includes: Mathematics, Logic, as well as History and, I would contend, Theology!

To the Bible believer it is not a matter of science or Scripture. We are absolutely for true science! Our only issue is with “…science falsely so called.” or that so-called science that is believed without evidence. Theories are fine provided they are not forced upon us as if they are factual! There are some in all disciplines that use false science more as a political agenda.

Let us all take science and Scripture together and build on our understanding of this world we live in!

GOD BLESS.
