Christian Science

Science is capable of explaining and verifying many things, but it cannot explain or verify everything. The word “science” comes from the Latin word “scientia” which means “knowledge”. Science is the knowledge and study of facts in the natural world and the process of experimenting and observing the facts in order to draw generalized conclusions. Science is made up of the knowledge revealed to and discovered by mankind. This is why science cannot prove everything, because we do not know…

should not let our own dogma get in the way of scientific advancement. The truth will prevail. Let us not reject something we refuse to understand. It may do us good to recognize that the Bible, while it often confirms and encourages science, speaks very little about science. The Bible makes very few claims regarding our universe. Genesis is not concerned with how or when…

Isaac Newton is mainly known for his great achievements in science. But Isaac Newton was very involved with the Anglican Church and did support a lot of great things. We won't get to that just yet, let's start from the beginning where it all began. “On January 4, 1643, Isaac Newton was born in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England (using the "old" Julien calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642)” (A&E Networks Television). Newtons dad passed away three…

when one hears the word science the first thing that comes to mind is the science class they took as students and how they either hated the subject or loved it, but what they don 't think about is how important science is to the world. For example the average person drives a car, but not as many people get into fatal car crashes as they did 45 years ago and this can all be attributed to the advances in cars developed by scientists. I believe that in society today science is more beneficial than…

Bateson, an English anthropologist, once said “Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” In a place and time where many individuals take the word of scientists as law, we must be careful to remember this fact. We cannot assume that because a teacher or scientist or uses the statement “science has proven” that they are unquestionably correct; it is our duty to teach this generation and the next that science is fallible and preserve them from…

It may be hard to imagine, but there once was a time when science as we know it today did not exist. During the Roman empire, when Christianity itself was getting started, medicine was a basic, if not crude, practice; mathematics was used chiefly for business and surveying; and astronomy was closely associated with astrology. There were no readily identifiable forms of chemistry, physics, or biology, although the civil engineering of roads, buildings and aqueducts had developed through…

advancements of science. Delgado begins with a brief history of science in the view of lay persons and then tells how religion, personal agenda and ignorance helps halt breakthroughs in science. By writing this Delgado hoped to point out lead reasons of denials in scientific breakthroughs. The intended audience is to lay persons whom do not have a strong background in sciences. I like how Delgado transitioned into the main points by briefly discussing the history of doubt and ill judgement of…

The debate to be evaluated at hand is one that included two renown figures who are well respected in their fields of study. Involved in this meticulous debate was the mechanical engineer and science educator Dr. Bill Nye, along with Christian fundamentalist and young earth creationist Dr. Ken Ham. Dr. Ham believes that creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era. Young earth creationist and professor of Biomimetic and Engineering at University of Bristol Stuart Burgess…

The role of my worldview in relation to science would be a slight mixture of theistic science and methodological naturalism. I believe that the supernatural phenomena occur but that as scientists we can only really label an event supernatural if there is no hard evidence of the event being caused naturally. Obviously, this leaves a problem, like methodological naturalism, because sometimes the present science is not advanced enough for us to prove the event was caused natural. An example would…

Charles Darwin on Religion and Science Charles Darwin was always thrilled by the natural environment around him. His love for nature led to his scientific exploits as seen with the natural theory of evolution and the theory of natural selection. He saw science as a key to understanding natural occurrences. His perception of science was seen from the way he handled religious issues like morality and ethics. He was ethical in his expressions of nature and science. The diversity of animals and…
