I completely agree with this! This is actually how I've always looked it it. Thank you for articulating the complementary nature of these two things so wellPeterRabitt20 wrote: ↑07 Mar 2021, 10:45 By reason, it would seem that if a person believes that God created everything, then wouldn't that also include science. He would have created the scientific and mathematical principles we study in school—even if they may not be mentioned in the classical scriptures. If that's the case then, then there would be no argument (or commercialization of that argument) about science and religion. Right?
scientific and/or secular approach

But doesn't the creation theory implies that everything was created by the god who was created from nothingMounce574 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 01:19Science trumps science. The Big Bang Theory states that molecules exploded from nothing and then randomly stopped as the universe. Physics states for every action there is a reaction plus it is proven that once molecules are in motion they can only travel a straight line. The Earth spins on an axis and rotates around the sun. It physically is impossible that The Big Bang Theory is true. I still side with thr supernatural powers of God.Maddie Atkinson wrote: ↑01 Mar 2021, 14:02Playing devils advocate here, but can't scientific research help to understand God's creation? Sure, maybe it shows that it didn't happen the way in which the Bible said it did, but He still created everything, maybe just through the Big Bang, and researching the natural world can help us to understand what He created and why He created it? Just another idea and way of looking at it! Not trying to offend you and your beliefs!
I take no offense when anyone challenges my beliefs or opinions. We are all entitled to express our thoughts in a constructive manner.

However, when it comes to supernatural things such as the creation of the universe and what happened before that...... science cannot explain. Those things that science cannot explain about the origins of time and space are beyond our human understanding at this time.
I agree, although science has the answer to many questions, some will always remain elusive. The question of the origin of the world and the universe is really huge and I don’t think the human mind can fathom it. Biblical teaching is intertwined with science, and it is essential that the story of God’s creation of the world is not taken literally.

Science changes too much, scientists are human beings trying to understand the world but they don't get everything right. They get some things right to some extent sometimes. Things are seen as facts for some time, then later found to be disproven by someone else. Scientists also agree with each other. It is not objective, but rather each person interprets findings from his subjective viewpoint and what relates to his belief system. In the past, scientists argued about whether the world was flat or round, whether the sun was moving or stationary amongst other things. Now, these arguments have ended but there are always others.
So personally, it's far better to put faith into something that is not going to change or be disproved later on...
