So often you hear the debate from both sides of the issue.
"The Bible says this about creation, or that about the flood, or it claims this about the earth and heaven etc etc."
"Science has proven such and such about mankind's origins, and science tells us something else about the earth and the seas, etc etc."
Inevitably, both sides always seem to clash. Neither side willing to give an open mind to the other, for being to busy to prove each other wrong.
The interesting thing is, the Bible tells us what happened, and who did it, but it doesnt really tell us how it was done.
However, science is very eager to discover, and explain how it all came about, the problem is, science denies the "who" and "what" part of the issue.
Now, I believe, that God is the "who", and the source of the "what", and science merely explains the "how".
For example.....
God created the heavens and the earth, and all therein.
At first look, the theory of evolution seems to contradict the Bible's claim.
But lets look deeper.
Genesis 1:20
20 And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Now, isn't that what science claims as well? Life started in the seas, and evolved into all the living creatures that walk slither and fly?
Here it seems that science actually proves the Bible correct!
Now, like I said before, science refuses to admit the existence of God, so they cannot figure out the "missing link" in the whole evolution of man bit.
But again, the Bible explains it well. God is the missing link!
He created cattle, and their kind so it is reasonable to believe he created apes and their kind. Some of which have gone extinct like many other species. Its also reasonable to believe that some of the ape like creatures were more like, and other less like, man. Would it be hard to assume that the ones more similar to man, would have been perceived to be threats from both apes, AND man, and therefore hunted to extinction? Science has found evidence of beings that fit that description.
Now they happen to think it was less evolved man, because they are not open to the thought of creation. But yet they cannot explain that missing link.
Again, GOD is the missing link, as he created those monkeys apes and their kind, but he also created man, in his own image.
There are MANY other points I could make about how it seems the Bible and science in fact confirm each other.
But that's what this thread is about. What do all of you think?
Now I certainly do not claim to know all the answers, far from it, and my theory may be proven wrong, who knows. But I believe it worthy of discussion: and what better place than among apostolic believers, People who know the word, and desire to search it with an open heart and mind?
