Most scoff at the idea that the Bible and Science agree. To the scoffers it is like asking, can the left and right leaning politicians agree?
The left only believe what can only be found in a test tube in a sterile labratory. Where the right won't accept science and they stand firm only in the Bible.
I truly believe as I have grown older that both agree and each prove the validity of the other. A millenial ago writing a thesis on this topic would be labelled heresy and the author a heretic.
I believe in what Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, 'study to show yourself approved rightly dividing the Word of God'.
Over the passing centuries church goers were taught not to question the conventional thinking of organized religion.
Martin Luther came along questioning the theory of salvation of works. He believed it was salvation by grace. Eventually he broke away from the church of Rome. Now we have a group named after him known as The Lutheran Church.
How many things would we not be able to enjoy if scientists and inventors did not challenge the accepted thoughts of their day.
We have light because of Edison, flight the reward from the hard work of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawke.
The staunch creationists believe the earth is approximately six thousand years old. Science declares it is at least five billion years of age. So, which is right?
I don't have the answers about dinosaurs, but I have to accept the evidence of the fossils found. Somehow they did exist, they lived and roamed on earth.
My theory is that they existed before man. During their time something major took place that started their extinction.
I feel it was a time before the period that we read about in the book of Genesis. This is a theory that answers both science and creationists.
At times we have to challenge conventional thought. This is my reason why I started this blog.
During the three years of his' ministry, Christ challenged the accepted organised religion of his' day, both Jewish and Roman.
The Jewish heirarchy called him a heretic, a false prophet. They didn't believe what his' followers were saying. The followers thought of him as messiah, the King to the throne of David. Christ asked his' disciples, 'who do men say that I am?' One of the answers was 'the Son of God'.
The more I learn, the more I discover that every thought of theory has a counter-thought of theory.
Science has proof that the earth went through an ice age. They also know there has been some type of flood, because of finding fossils of ocean species in places for which there is no logical explanation.
In Genesis we read of a man, Noah, who was told to build an ark because, God was going to flood the earth. For God was displeased with man.
Yes, I believe that science and the Bible agree. It just takes putting all of the facts into evidence.
