When you have a science lesson at school do you ever wander weather Scientific facts clash with your faith. For me when being taught about the theory of evolution or the Big bang theory I often wander. Lots of people say that science and religion contradict each other and that they can never co-exist. I disagree with this and I am going to talk about the reasons why I think this is wrong. Here at RCG we love Jon Oleksiuk`s videos about Christianity this video really describes some of the reasons why I disagree with the statements above. This video is also a part of the inspiration behind this post.
Often the main argument is that of creation and how the universe was formed. There’s lots of evidence which points towards the big bang being the creation of the universe and not it just appearing. But what you have got to remember is that Genesis is quite metaphorical and that the story in the bible is written in a way which we can begin to understand because God is so powerful we may not be able to even comprehend how God created the universe. Secondly, Science was created to try and understand how God did things and the patterns through out the universe that sort of makes religion the founder of science even some of the greatest scientific discovery’s in history were driven by religious ideas. I love the quote from Albert Einstein “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” This can tells us that Science tells us how the world works and then religion tells us why it works that way.
