Christian Science

When the word science is uttered in a conversation most people tend to Science is defined in Leonard Brand’s book Faith, Reason, and Earth History as, “the search for truth through repeated experiment and observation.” With that in mind the area of science I am mainly going to focus on is geology. Geology includes the study of minerals, natural earth processes, as well as fossils. The third and final topic I am also going to address the topic of faith. The end goal is to fully lay out how I…

Nothing- how can it be for science anything but a horror and a phantasm? If science is right, then one thing stands firm: science wishes to know nothing of nothing. Such is after all the strictly scientific approach to Nothing. We know it by wishing to know nothing of Nothing” (O’Connor, 448-449). Despite her education, Joy-Hulga…

goal as Christians is to be stewards of Christ, being His vessels to spread His Word to change souls, not to win arguments and lose the people He loves. However, there are many pieces of evidence that solidify the reliability and authority of the Bible. There are many things about creation that matter more than we might first assume. For example the order of creation and the time interval between each ‘day’ is very important. The idea of trying to merge evolution and creation is becoming…

Unsurprisingly, many creationists and creation scientists are against the teaching of evolution in schools. For example, extreme creationist Jack Wellman, a Christian author who holds a BA in history as well as degrees in science and education, claims that evolution cannot be validated as factual because it cannot be proven (Wellman). He argues that since evolution cannot be observed in a lab, it cannot be confirmed, making it merely a theory. Also, he argues that there are no “transitional…

Modern Science would unarguably be completely different without the Scientific Revolution. It was a major moment in the history of Western Culture, not to mention science and it’s history as a whole. Out of the Scientific Revolution came modern science and things like the scientific method were created. Countless scientific discoveries came from the great research of key figures in the scientific revolution such as Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus. The scientific revolution took place in a…

strength of Richard Dawkins is that he is able to relate to his audience with science as his religion. Dawkins explained his several point of views by applying scientific concepts and the concept of Darwinism. He grew up in an Anglicanism Christian upbringing. He mentions that in his biographical introduction, he realized that there are other religions as well in the world and that it was an accident that he was born in the Christian faith (The God Delusion Debate). What I admire the most is…

Intro to Lit II 15 October 2015 Religion vs. Science in Life of Pi Does Pi believe in Religion or Science? As Albert Einstein once said, ”Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” This quote indicates that science without moral values would be a disaster and religion runs on scientific knowledge so you would have to be blind not to notice them. This quote basically states that there needs to balance between science and religion because they both are important. In…

There is a prevailing belief that to be religious is to be content with the truth of the Word of God. While I do not contest this, what I would suggest it that the prevalent understanding of the Word of God has been severely limited. The Word is not simply the text itself, but the context surrounding it--the context of its writing, the purpose being addressed, and the relevance of it. All these would require an understanding of the world to be able to situate it properly. In fact, this is…

components in society: science and religion. Dan Brown shows us a contrast between the beliefs of science and religion and the tension that’s created when they're combined. As the book progresses the main problem Brown is trying to address is the question a lot of characters in the book are trying to answer, can science and religion exist together? The anti-Christian group in Angels and Demons, The Illuminati, believes there is no place for religion in a world with science. This is first…
