[_ Old Earth _] Does Science compliment Christianity?

[bibleberean]

BrutusHS,

Brother,

I don't think that is the reason we don't see miracles today is due to a lack of faith.

The Jews didn't have the greatest faith and they saw miracles anyway.

Example: Exodus the whole book.

Men were in the same sinful, faithless mess then as they are today.

But back to science and Christianity,

The bible is in agreement with good science.

Entropy is a fairly recent discovery.

At least the understanding of it is.

Rudolf Clausius discovered and proved that the Universe was falling apart and will run out of energy. He lived in the middle of the 1800's.

The law of Entropy is taken for granted today but look what was written in the bible around 3,000 years ago.

Psalms 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Psalms 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

Psalms 102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

When most of the world thought the world was flat the bible had the truth.

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

The bible declared that the earth was a circle or round.

The bible is an amazing book. God is an awsome God.

One day He will reveal Himself in all His glory to His creation.

By faith I acknowledge Him as Creator and sustainer of the Universe.

Berean, what then is the cause for the lack of the eye opening miracles? I know it's tough to except but ThinkerMan hit on a very important point. I think today's Christians need to wake up and smell the roses, and then start serving the Lord more faithfully. 8-)

Did you read my post just before you responded to Thinkerman?

 

[Blazin Bones]

Okay, I see where you're coming from. The Bible does tell us that signs will all but cease for a time. It also tells us that many christains will fall astray after wordly things. I put them together as a cause and effect scenario, rather than two separate foreshadowings.

I think it depends on what kind of Christian you are.

There are YECs, theistic evolutionists, etc.

Depending on one's beliefs (and there are a wide variety of them within the christianity) then the conflicts can run from mimimal to overwhelming.

Basically, it depends on how literal you believe the bible to be.

:P Hey' Thinkerman! How are you?
Well,as you know by now,I take the bible very literal,and I agree that
true science supports God and the bible and goes great with christianity.
I am a YEC too,as you know.

Another excellent point you make!

I dont think either works together, science works on facts and proofs, yet religion is all up to the believer.

I see how convenient it is to pick and choose your passages to make a claim. It has been said the bible proves all points of view and your post is no exception. First of all using poetry (psalms)to make claims of scientific value is a stretch and lets talk about the other scientific boo boo's and passages in the bible.
Daniel 4:7-8 "I saw a tree of great height at the center of the world. It was large and strong, with its top touching the heavens, and it could be seen from the ends of the earth."
This implies a flat earth.
Matt 4:8"The devil took him (Jesus) to a very high mountain and displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence...."
This again implies a flat earth.
Genesis 1 6:7 "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places... and it was done. So Godmade a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it."
Again the flat earth theory.
Job 13:12"take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it"
How do you shake a globe anyway? Well if you are really want to see what the bible writers believed check this site out.

Haha I've been reading physics books (real physics, not pop-science bull) since I was 13, and I still don't see anything that confirms God. So, if you don't have any examples to back up your statements, don't make them.

Then you're not trying hard enough to see. Isn't it obvious that physics, (as we understand it now), is a small sprinkling of one of the tools with which God created? We did not create physics. We only discovered it.

We know that gravity exists now. Did God not create gravity? We know that matter consists of atoms. Did God not create atoms? We know that DNA are the building blocks of life. Did God not create DNA.

There you have it. Three specific examples of science complimenting our knowledge of God.

Funny, but what you have stated is the same either way. One has to believe in a fact in order for it to be a fact.

Ok this thread is now the messiah of the C&S forum, it's been ressurected twice.

I channel my mysticality through my star staff and hit this thread for 140 damage. POW! BAFF! FLOP! KAZAM! KAWHOOSH!

First Earth, separate water from land, plants first, creeping things next, flying things next, man next. Wow seems like something right out of a text book huh? Funny how it has taken man hundreds of thousands of years of learning to prove something that was stated in a book that they refuse to believe. I suppose that this was 'just a lucky guess' made by Moses?

And Rez,

You take things that are from dreams and poetry and act like they were supposed to be taken literally. Come on friend, you know better than that. And never forget that earth in the Bible does NOT always mean the 'entire' earth, but oft times it simply means the piece of earth where something took place. Like when the locust of Egypt were described as covering the face of all the earth. Not literal my friend. Specific to the face of all the earth in Egypt.
