God And science Flashcards
What is a good analogy as to why learning science allows us to appreciate God more?
If you go to a famous art museum, the more you know about painting, the more you admire the mind behind it. The less we know about painting, the less we’d be able to admire them. Same with science, the more we know about how God made his artwork, the more we’d be able to admire Him.
Who is Francis S. Collins?
Director of the National Genome Research Institute (Which is a leading authority in Genomics) from 2009 till 2021. A scientist. A Christian. Despite being a scientist, he was a Christian.
What’s a nice statistic from the 20th century that tells us science and God don’t contradict each other?
Hint, the Nobel prize
60% of Nobel prize winners in the last century believed in God. Smart scientists arn’t they? If God and science really do contradict each other, why do these smart people not agree?
What is the Special Revelation?
This is the Book of Scripture. This is the revelation specially given to us by God. We can’t have known it otherwise (through our senses).
What is the Natural Revelation?
This is the Book of Nature. Creation itself. This is the revelation we can observe with our senses.
